How radical do you want it to be? What intake do you have?
You want to race or just sound good or both? It's an all N/A build right?
Give me your goals. Head Work is a must screw in studs, guide plates,
Double springs minimum, VTO seals. Scorpion or Harland Sharp or Howards or Crane or Lunati rockers. Stay away from Comp Cams or Proform especially ProComp. To get into the 450HP with double humps mild port matching of intake manifold is a must if yous is 7101 Edelbrock. A RPM Air Gap is worth 12HP 15 tq better as cast and port matching,plenum polish, full runner debur, 1in. Spacer will add 25-32HP 20-26tq over the 7101.
It all depends on your goals. I personally have no problem driving a 3500
Stall converter with 4:10s daily killing the pavement and getting the neighbors and cops pissed off. 8)
I like that radical idle and drive my engines to their intended purpose
of only performance screw that POS Comp Thumpr WanABe cam their junk and don't last from their Chinese or blemed Cam Cores.
A scat 9000 crank 4032 piston forged I beam cap screw rods
All internally balanced will have a great foundation without NO2.
If your going to spend for an H Roller conversion make sure
Everything is machined to last which is very $$$. But most parts
Can be reused on the rebuild or freshen up, if you look at it as an investment.
Give me your opinion of what you'd like and don't like.
