| 428 build advice fro 69 Mach 1 street cruiser? |
| By jeff - 10/21/2004 11:55:01 AM; IP 198.177.24.101 |
The more i have researched building a 428 for my mach one the more i am confused , my 69 currently has a 390 in it but i have a std bore 428 block that is ready to be slightly bored, originally i was going to put a stroker scat crank in (still may do that) but as i reflect on just what i want i wonder just how much money i should throw at this. I'm just after a nice torquey engine that sounds good , some lope to it.
Anyone have a good idea of what to equip this engine with? I wouldnt be taking it over 5800 rpms i doubt. I have stock good rods, crank , cobra jet intake now...what about going edelbrock rpm heads and intake is it worth the dollars? Hooker or FPA headers? Would i be ahead to work with my 390 heads? I can spend some money on this but i dont want to waste money either, its going in my mach one.
To clarify, im just using this mach one to cruise in once in awhile on the street, also what do you recomend for valve train for my rpm limits of 5800 rpm stock ought to be fine shouldnt it? I assume the cam would be in the .550 lift dept (not over that) since the block needs to be bored i would go for the forged pistons...whats brand works well for FE'S? Does the cobra jet intake equal the edelbrock rpm for street use? Same question again does edelbrock exceed performance of a good set of factory heads?
thanks again jeff Oh, rearend gears are mid 3s with a wide ratio top loader
thanks for any advice jeff
