| 428 Build Advice |
| By JL - 10/07/2005 10:32:05 PM; IP 69.19.14.33 |
I'm building a 67 GT-500 clone and I want it to look and run like the original. So far I've got a c6me-a 67 Block that was a standard 428, a set of C7AE-A heads with correct 67 date codes, and a 1U crank. I've got a complete 67 CMEA-A 390 engine from a 67 fairlane with the stock exhaust manifolds that I can pirate for any parts I may need like timing covers, rods, etc. I'm wanting to use one of the repro dual quad set-ups too and run the exhaust using the fairlane maifolds if they will fit and work. I'm using a big block toploader from the fairlane too. I might be talked into headers if the sound and HP gains are worth it. I'm on a budget so I can't go nuts with $$. So here are my questions.
What can/should I use from the 67 390 in my 428 build?? Where would it be best to spend what $$ I DO have considering the parts I've got above? What can I do to increase HP without spending $$ I don't have? What should I use for a damper? What about a distributor? Any other tips for an amature?? |
