392w

gofastmercury · 09-05-2002, 07:08 PM

I was planning on doing the 392 thing to my comet motor this winter and was wondering if these any pros or cons to this?
I like the 392 because of the ablity to use stock length con rods and easy to find 302 pistons. I am planning on about 9:1, aftermarket rods, and lots rpm, well, like 7500 or so. I already have world sr heads,vic jr, and a big roller cam for it. I also have the gear and the 5000 stall,as this would need as well.

392 is a good motor. But i've found that 392's like lots of compression. Something to consider but overall it's a good motor that makes a NASTY street motor
