Not Ranked
New questions, first FE build.
I have read Barry's R's book over and over, it's like a freeking addiction. Help me get over a few hurdles.
Doing the 445 stroker like in the book is just plain old out of my budget.
I do want the FE.. 390 block based is totally fine, I don't really need a stroker kit.
I mainly want a realiable 390, but I do want it at least 427 or there abouts.
So, I guess a little over bore and maybe a 428 crank would do it.
Next.. rocker arms... the TD rockers are so sweet they give me a tingle up my leg... but I don't really need them for a street motor , SO, what should I use.
I like the idea of one stop shopping. I want the block and rotating assembly sourced from one shop with all machine work and balance work completed, stuck in a crate and shipped to me.. Reckon Barry R can do that.
I do want aluminum heads and intake.
Help me come up with a plan that wont be 10k. I can't even sleep at night, freeking motor is all I think about... crap... this is just like 2000 when I built my first C$%!
