My new engine setup
 

Well, after spending the last few months trying to decide on an engine setup that will fit my needs, I am ready to rebuild my 351w using some of what I have and upgrading a few thing, here's what I'll have when done:
World Products Windsor heads - 2.02in, 1.60ex
Edelbrock 600cfm carb
Edelbrock RPM Intake
Crane Cam - 216/228 @ .050 (Would the 226/236 be better?)
9.0:1 compression
Stock Torque converter
stock rear end (2.73 I think)
Hooker headers
Dual 2.5" exhaust with 3-chamber flowmasters

I am looking for any input on my selections. This is my first time building a motor like this. The car is a daily driver so I'm want to keep the mpg at a reasonable level (>= 12mpg). Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Also, any ideas on the HP this setup would give and rough MPG that I should get?

Thanks,
Brock

well, I'd change the gears.. even for normal driving... with a stock converter, you will not be happy with the was it accelerates..and the gears will help the mileage.. less throttle to get going.. smaller cam would be better too, give more bottom end torque..

I have to agree change the gears up to 3.50, this will do wonders for the acceleration. http://216.59.112.100/interactive/msgboard/biggrin.gif
