Hi all,
recently i sold my 427 Crendon Cobra with 433 FE and now I'm in the middle of rebuilding my AC MK IV with small block 5.0 HO power.
My first idea was to use my old hi reving Cleveland for the project but finally i want to stay with the "original" engine family.
After a short inspection of the engine internals i found out that i have to rebuild the engine. It is running but has some marks in the cylinder walls from former head gasket failures and some scratches and skuffs deep enough to bore it.
Because all the parts plus machine shop work, hottanking, cleaning, painting and so on are just a bit cheaper as a new shortblock from the US I decided to build a new one and keep the old one as a spare unit, just in case...
What i want is more torque over a broad rpm band and just a bit more HP as it has today.
Engine has to be very streetable and healthy, therefore these are my ideas:
-CR: 9,2:1
-Catalytic absorber, to be specified, maybe the original ones
-AFR 165 heads, KC ported, complete, sitting at home
-Lunati Voodoo hydr. roller tapped 61010
-COMP Cams 1634-16 - COMP Cams Ultra Pro Magnum Rocker Arms, 1:6
-JBA Headers 1621SJS - Cat4ward Headers, Stainless
-Weiand Stealth Intake 8020
-331 Shortblock, KC Street Performance
-Canton
Oil pan 15-644, road race wet sump
For the carb I don't know right now.
A Holley Commander 950 TBI EFI with different jets is sitting on the shelf from a former project but i want to drive the engine the first few hundred miles with a carb.
Any recommendations for a carb matching the components above or the components in detail ?
I know that sooooo much posts as my one appeared in the last few years, sorry for this newest one.
