OKAY, the edelbrock performer intake is not a performance manifold, but a great intake on your f-250 camper special with a tired, undercammed 360, so, at the very least use an edelbrock performer rpm or f-427 intakeas these are fairly cheap and offer good bang for the buck.
camshaft; there are a number of excellent grinds out there, I just happen to like the old 425/427 cam cause it sounds nice, performs well in a daily driver, and I am a bit nostalgic.
360 pistons, because once again, cheap! nice flat top with a good deck height n 4 valve releifs, when used with the right heads will provide 9.5-10.3 compression.
heads; every one has there preferance, but Ill just use any old passeger car head that comes along for a street bomber, give em a three angle valve job, stick with the old iron guides, and port match the intake to the heads, a simple job for your weekend entertainment, and throw in a good set of springs to keep stuff from gettin together when you take er past 6000 ( and you will) and causing you to waste more valuable fun time. this is a very fun to operate package that will impress your buddies on friday night and keep you constantly replacin those rear tires on a regular basis. okay, now for the bad news, this combo promotes some pretty high cylinder pressures and is a pain to tune for pump gas. As for any thing else, you can do as much, and spend as much as you like, and others will naysay and say you gotta do this or that. I am only offering my opinion on what i consider the best CHEAP fun package that i pesonally like.
And by the way, the 460 is actually the best bang for buck if ya allready got one, and is much more tolerant of todays fuel. Having personally installed one in my 64 f-100, runs mid 13s @108 trough the pipes on 275s and pulls my 24 foot camp trailer full o beer like a dream.
But, as stated earlier; this IS the fe forum...... |
