Hey Guys,
Starting to collect parts for my engine build. The plan is to go the 383 route. I've got a 3970010 block ready to be sent out for machining. For the bottom end, I have narrowed down to the following set-up from Summit:
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-1-40605BI/
For the intake, I have a new Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap Intake that will be used. The p/n is EDL-7501. Carb size has yet to be determined.
For the heads, I was looking to go with either the Dart SHP or Pro 1 Heads. My question is which cc chambers and intake runners should I go with? I would like to keep compression at 10:1 or lower so I can run on pump gas. Seems there are multiple options - 64/200, 72/200, 64/180, 72/180, etc.
I have not yet decided on a cam choice. What I do know is that I will go with the retro roller set-up. I am looking for rpm range of 1,500-6,500.
I would like to be in the 450hp range with equal or greater torque...
This build will be for my 71. I have a Tremec TKO-600 tranny with 2.87 first gear and 0.64 overdrive. The rear gears are 4:11. I plan to use mainly for weekend cruising, car shows, occasional flogging, and a trip to the drag strip maybe once/twice a year.
Two more items:
Oil Pan: I am looking at this one from Summit. Will this work?
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MIL-30908/
Oil Pump: I was thinking about the Melling M55-HV. Will this work?

I know i've listed a lot here. I am open to any/all suggestions and would be willing to consider other parts.
Thanks!
Brian
