No, the motor is completely disassembled. I'm asking because if im going to do any changes nows the best time to do it.
Stock is the best way to go?
first thing you need to do is to decide what rpm range the engine is going to spend 80% of its time in. or decide what you are going to use the engine for. if you want a nice street motor, then you select parts that compliment each other in the 1000-5000 rpm range. that includes cam, intake, carb, headers, heads.
a recipe for building a nice street motor with decent power,
cam in the 1000-5000 rpm range, i like the comp cams he268h high energy grind. an older design, but still does the job nicely.
heads, most heads with an intake runner between 170-185cc works real nice for the street.
intake, the weiand stealth or the performer rpm work nice in that range.
for a carb, a 600cfm carb will feed the engine nicely
headers, for the street a nice set of tri-y headers with 1 1/2-1 5/8" primary tube, and dual exhaust with 2 1/4- 2 1/2" exhaust pipe work nicely as well.
this combination should make about 320hp at the flywheel, and have a nice flat torque curve that will make this a nice responsive engine on the street.
