ok i was told the motor is 30 over which is a 306 correct? had a little over stock cam, gt40 ported heads, ported upper and lower stock intake. dont really know if this stuff is done or not. they also said it has 373 posi which it does. and underdrive pullies. which it also has that. thanks for the info. ill probably have more questions. later with wireing. any other little mods to get these things moving?im also throwing some spray on it. probably about a 100 shot. im not really wanting to spend alot on this build im looking for another motor later on to build. maybe big block i have a 460 laying around.. any help would be apprecited

that seems a little bizaar and thats the first time ive ever heard of that one. the porting is fine but i always thought the main problem with the stock intake is the inlet diameter. i forget how big it is but they make them much bigger on aftermarket intakes. but then you need a bigger throttle body and then a bigger EGR spacer and then a bigger mass air sensor (mine had to be programed for which injectors i was using). all of which gets pricey.

i do love my B&M shift kit with 3.73 gears though hehehe

idk the motor has been apart for sure. i can tell by the gaskets. but in dont know whats been done to it. im not going to pull the heads off im leaveing them on. and just putting the cam in unless i have to take the heads off which i dont see y i would have to. then its off to get a computer chip and a tune at the local dyno shop. thanks for the help guys. any other cheap mods??

also forgot to ask. when im putting the cam in how do i make sure the cam goes in right. is there dots in the timing chain? and where do the dots go cam dot 6 o clock and crank 12 o clock at tdc?

yes there are dots in the timing gears. usually people do what you said, put the dots closest to each other.

if you have access to a drillpress bore the throttle bodyout down to the fly(front and back)you'll gain about 3hp&8lbs of torque
