I am upgrading the tried and true 427 big block in my ’72 Nova. Just picked up a zz502 short block. I wish to retain the short block as-is with the exception of the cam, and want to go with a larger roller. A cam that I’m considering is an Edelbrock is as follows:
#2264

ENGINE: 500+ (1991 & Later Gen V & Gen VI)
RPM RANGE: 1500-6500

Duration at 0.006" Lift: Intake: 308° Exhaust: 315°
Duration at 0.050" Lift: Intake: 248° Exhaust: 256°
Lift at Cam: Intake: .371" Exhaust: .381"
Lift at Valve: Intake: .632" Exhaust: .648"

I have a 1050 Dominator I’ll be using with an Edelbrock Victor manifold.

What I’m hoping to get is advise on is the heads for this engine. I’ll need a small-ish combustion chamber to get the desired 9.5/1 to 10/1 ratio I desire. Approximately 110cc chambers I’m thinking. The ZZ502 head gasket is .040. Is there a thinner one available? My big question concerning the heads is intake runner volume. Some heads I’d looked at were Edelbrock’s Victor Jr. 24° Rectangle Port or the E-CNC 355 - Rectangular Port. The Victor Jr. comes in at 300cc intake runners where the CNC 355’s are bigger at 340-ish.

I’ve listed Edelbrock stuff but this is just where I’ve started looking so would consider other manufacturers as well.

The car will weigh approximately 3400lbs. It’s got a turbo 400, 3500-stall converter. Rear end is a 4:11 geared 12 bolt with 28” tall tires. The car will see very short trips on the street very occasionally, and may make a pass every now and then at Pacific Raceways as well. I want these street trips to be an exercise in throttle control, with more HP than the tires can handle just a blip of the throttle away!

Thanks!
