Re: Choosing a BIG Cube BBC Street Engine

Hope this is right: Size Bore Stroke Rod 540 4.50 4.25 6.385 555 4.56 4.25 6.385 565 4.60 4.25 6.385 572 582 4.60 4.375 6.535 598 4.60 4.50 6.535 |
Ya I think maybe a thicker cyl. wall might help with cooling morso than a thinner wall. If I add a 125 shot of nitrous a thicker wall would be smarter maybe too.
Which heads to use, Dart AFR Canfield Edelbrock? Alum. or case iron? Alum. would keep cooler but could you put more miles on a iron head and would iron be less maintenance as in valve guides and seats? Also dual plain intake or open plenum,4150 or dominator? Eagle rotating,callies etc? |

Thats right I'm not even interested in a GM block. Yes they have their place but in my situation a Dart will be used. I think a Callies is the answer,all US made parts is my goal.
So far Dart block Callies rotating with H-beam rods Pistons: JE or Ross? What else is US made? Dart heads I guess determined on the cubic inch? |
