I just pulled the motor apart that came with my sons bronco that we are building. The guy I bought it from said that he had just rebuilt it about 500 miles before he started pulling the bronco apart to restore it. Well the motor is really clean inside and the bores measure as a 40 over and the Pistons and rods look great.
So.. I am going to get the block cleaned and fluxed and dimensions all checked by a local machine shop. I will have them install all new cam bushings and freeze plugs.
I know I am going to use roller lifters and rockers..
I have a performer intake that came with it and I am putting a fitech FI unit on it. It will have stock style exhaust manifolds but I will port and polish them for better flow.
The question is:
What cam, valves etc to use to have a motor that produces @300 hp total but more importantly produces about 300-350 of torque at @2500-3500rpm.
I am ahead of the game since the majority of the motor machine work seems to be done so I have some cash to spend on headwork etc if needed.
Thanks Chuck
