428 build ?'s

[fzabski]

I have some build/compatibilty ?'s. Any help or comments appreciated.

My goal is to build a 427 street (428) Cobra replica as it came off the line with 2003 technology where ever available.

I am building a 428 standard block bored 20 over. I need recommendations for the following:

1. Rotating assmebly
2. Heads
3. Cam
4. Valves
5. Oil pump

Other then the oil filter mod is there any other oiling mods needed?

I have a PI intake and would like to go with edelbrock alum. heads but unsure of compatibily.

This will be for street use only and am looking for reliability not speed. Also, this will be a straight pipe car not side exhaust.

I just did this build. 1968 428PI for my FFR

1. stock crank w/cast .30 pistons & moly rings, cloyes timing set
2. stock heads ported (a lot cheaper the buying edel's)
3. Crane Cam kit

4. stainless valves with hard seats
5. Miloden oil pump/ carter fuel pump

PI intake will work with Edel heads. I also went with heavy duty rocker shafts/billet stands from Dennis @DSC Motorsports

Thanks for the response.

I am assuming you got the rotating assemby balanced?

What oil mods did you do?
