I have a CHP kit and well..its not that great...it really runs through oil, probe pistons arent the greatest...i would try and Scat / Eagle setup...A couple of my friends have those back east and their cars fly....DSS builds a nice kit...

the best thing to do is always build your own..

scat/ eagle crank and rods

CP or JE pistons....

clevite moly rings....something along those lines...may cost a little more but it will be more reliable and more powerful too

why not just by it from a machine shop and have them do the block too? You probably will get a better deal that way.

I have a Scat forged crank with forged Scat H-Beam rods and probe pistons. It has been awesome so far with 10k street miles and a lot of abuse. Dave's engine in Newark did the assembly.

http://www.speedomotive.com Has a large selection of kits. My dad bought their 445ci stroker kit for the 390 in his 66 LTD. That thing flies. He's got about 6,000 miles on it with no problems.

Twisted wedge means the pistons are flycut to clear the valves on a twisted wegde head....what kind of heads so you have?....order the inline if you don't have the TW heads.....

Hey Javier, for the street, I would use AFR 165's, and a Edelbrock/Pro products intake or a Holley or a Trickflow. The edelbrock performer package is nice also. If you buy trick flow heads, you need to buy some extra parts. For your car that needs to be smogged, I'd stick with the edelbrock stuff because you can get those heads and intake used all day on Corral.net for half the price new [patriot]

what model number heads and cam should i get? and the intake would be the preformer right, the performer rpm would be more for higher rpm range right?

even if you port the stock stuff, it will really choke the motor and won't run well. You should save your money and do it all at once. I would buy the heads first, worry about the motor after.

Call Probe for their 347e street fighter cam, emissions legal, and it is a pretty healthy cam.

what edelbrock heads would be good?
what other parts would i have to buy to get the tfs heads and intake to pass smog?
need to get motor plans figured out soon, need to drive the notch [Frown]
i kinda want to go with tfs becuase a friend of mine has there street heat package with the twisted wedge heads on his 331 and he loves it.

stoauto: how much would it cost to build the motor? i heard like $350-400?
