Berlinetta79

Hi there

First topic from me and asking for some help.

I have these things:
361959 block from 1979y 454cid, heads 336781 OpenChamber 113.0cc OVAL PORT - Valve size 2.06 intake, 1.72 exhaust, Race Demon 1025 carb, NOS Wet Big Shot , Edelbrock Victor Jr. Single Plane intake, Dedenbear NOC1 nitro controler and MSD electronics all the way( Msd 7 al2 , Msd Blaster coil ,Msd 3 step retard , Msd rpm activated switch). Cant at the moment afford a nice new bb (dart or merlin) block to start making a real killer thing. So, obviously you guys here have the knowledge about bbc, what you think would be the best heads for that combo. Any suggestions on cam and pistons?

Its my first bbc build ever and trying to avoid wrong moves(not to buy items that will not be the best for the engine etc).

So far I have been offered pro-comp heads with a set of dart 308 steel heads with 2.25 int and 1.88 ex valves with isky springs good for .750 lift and a a pair of 074 factory aluminum heads.They are bare heads,set up for 2.19/1.88 valves. Really dont know what would be best. The idea itself is to build a strong engine for drag-racing. Th350 or 400 gb and 4.10 gears. And with the money I have I am making it from item to item. Still will need to figure out what pistons, maybe a stroker kit etc.

Oh and the engine will go on -79 Camaro Berlinetta


So, help?
