thought you were gonna be upgrading to a 347 so why waste time on panzy letter cams,B is your best bet of the letters but dont go letter camming.What do you want out of your engine?

I want good sound. But horsepower is what I want. I'm not sure if I want to add all this to my block that is in the car or go ahead and build the stroker now and add all the parts to the stroker and pull my 30000 mile motor out. I have the money just not sure what path to take. Thinking really about the stroker now.

What about this combo. Will it make a respectable street car?
Stock block
AFR 165 Pedestal mount heads
1.7 Crane Rollers
Edelbrock RPM 2 intake
24 pound injectors and the other bolt ons
with the B Cam? While I build the stroker with the 185's?

Mine is set at 14* base timing btw

I really like my E cam with 1:7 RR. its noticable

The AFR 165 will allow you more room because of the smaller valves. If it were mine...at that point, I would bypass the Letter cams and put the Trick Flow stage 1 in there. It is a very healthy sounding and performing cam due to it's advanced bias exhaust pattern. Lift is .499/.510 with 1.6RR's.

But put some 4.10's in that AOD car.

Ok so go with the AFR165 heads with the 1.6 RA and the trick flow stage 1 cam and that will make a good combo? Are the 1.7 RA too much for the heads and cam? The reason I ask is I have a set on the stock heads and would like to save 200 bucks if possible.

the RR are different on your stock heads. they are pedalstal mount unless they have been machined to accept the stud mount

You can order the AFR165 heads for use with pedestal rockers.

So will the AFR 165 with pedetal mounts and 1.7 RR work with the trick stage 1 cam? Or will I have to go to 1.6?

The 165's are ped. mount.

Does'nt the TF cam also have a 110* LSA,where the E cam has a 112*?
