·Originally I was going to rebuild my 289, but now I'm leaning toward (OK, I've convinced myself that I cannot live without the 5.0) a 5.0 roller motor.I'm still building my motor "In my mind" for my '66. Here's what I've got going on in reality. I have a 4:11 posi, T-5 with the 2.95 1st gear and I think the final is .60 Also setting on the shelf is a set of Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads. Now, back to what I'm thinking about doing. I'm going to go with a set of Keith Black Hyperutectic 10:1 pistons, since I have the aluminum heads and I can get away with the higher compression. My original thought was the Edelbrock Performer RPM cam (in the 289) and intake (AirGap) since I really like the torque range it offers, but now that I'm planning on a roller motor, I'm looking at the TF Track Heat Camshaft 51402000. Still planning on the RPM AirGap though. See specs here: http://www.trickflow.com/product/prfeature_index.htm And click on technical specs. Now I'm not seeking a fire breathing dragon here, just a good strong street motor that I can drive without it requiring high RPM's to stay in the power band. I'm thinking about the highway RPM's in 5th gear. That 4:11 becomes a 2.46, so I don't want too high of a torque curve.
Oh, yea, I almost forgot. 650 DP, or 600 Vac.??
