Hey all it's been awhile since I've been on here but I recently started getting down and dirty with my 85' resto mod project and over the weekend I took the motor and tore it down to prep for a rebuild. Here are my current plans and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations as I am looking for RELIABLE power nothing crazy (I would be happy with 300 crank but I feel this setup will probably make more than that):
- Trick Flow TW 11R 170 Aluminum Heads
- Edelbrock Performance Intake Manifold
- Trick Flow Stage 1 Cam Shaft
- Ford Racing Push Rods (stock length can be swapped)
- Comp Cams 1.6 Roller Rockers
- Polished Crank (retain factory spec)
- Polished/tanked Block (retain factory spec)
- Re-use stock pistons/rods (they are in very good shape)
- Stock Bottom end rebuild kit (bearings gaskets etc...)
- Retain stock rollers? (I'm asking here but they are also in good shape)
- Windage tray (I hear they work?)
- Holley Sniper EFI system (will come later when engine is back in car that is going out for restoration/paint soon)
Again just keep in mind this is a resto-mod build for weekend cruising/shows and does not need to make crazy power. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
