anybody with big block knowledge

Don't really know where to ask questions for this but it is in a 90 gt with minor modifiations.. Has a stock 460 with edelbrock intake (not sure which one) will look tomorrow and 850 holley dp.long tube headers. I talked my ex father-in-law out of it because he has let it set for a few years. Its basically a track car beause it has been striped of just about everything that can be removed. It has elec fan and wp' with msd 6al, thinking c6 but not sure with 4.10s

Car ran 2 years ago 7.60'-70's in 1/8th and 7.00's on 125 spray.

two questions

good cam not to radical and which stock heads to look for. not looking for aftermarket.

This is a budget project and as of right now I have 650 in it and picked it up today.

looking for low 7s on motor If possible.

Also would like to trade off hood don't like it.

And it has a sun roof I havent seen many of these. What you guys think for 600 and 50 in gas to get home.

first off how much for the hood?????? if you plan on staying with stock style heads get the D3's and have them worked. and a mech flat tappet will do the trick. what year is the motor? i will trade some of these mod motor parts for the hood.

i know a little about big blocks.first off more detail what casting number on the heads all the big block heads are restricted on the exhaust the d3 and dove can be worked to make good power. the d2oe or (pi) head are a little bettter and of coarse the dooer or scj head is the better one to have but still needs work on the exhaust flow. The d2ve are pretty much the crappy head because it has no quench pad in the combustio chamber. the d3ve are approx 94 cc chamber the dove c9ve scj etc are approx 74 cc .the pi or d2oe approx 80cc if u have d3ve on stock pistons ur compression sux also if if u have a stock timing set it will be retarded unless it is a c9 or dove engine .what dizzy if a duraspark it needs to be recurved on the advance i could go on but need the details.600 is good price if it has headers bb mounts and the bb rear sump pan those items alone r worth most of the money.if nothing else part it out.

Even though you don't like the hood, you will need the clearance because of the tall deck height

not if it has the 1.5 inch body lift and a torker II intake or performer rpm.a smaller cowl or cobra r style hood will clear easy

True, but the last I would want to do is put a body lift on a car. Hell I don't like them on trucks!

SlowJoe · 03-01-2010, 06:01 PM

in order to do it right and line the drive train up you have to have a body lift. we put one on the 93 and you could not even tell it was on there.

the big block install with motor mounts will misalign the drive train.and the engine will set to high above radiator and cause air pockets in the cooling system and steering shaft will not fit properly between header pipes. the lift actually puts things back to a normal look.

Would like to trade for another cowl hood. The carb sticks up over the fenders a couple of inches.
