The motor will be sreet/light strip use and I am trying to keep costs down, I was thinking about going and finding GT40 heads and using dome pistons to up the compression a little bit, What supporting mods like fuel pump/injectors/mass air will be needed? What would be a good cam for a combo like this, or does anyone else have a better idea for a combo?<br /><br />Thanks <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>96232</b> <br /><small>Member # 9375</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,4,8,2,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> BTW the car is an AOD and has factory 3.27 gearing if that helps, Planning on going to 4.10 or 3.73 gears in the future, but not too soon <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ItzStock</b> <br /><small>Member # 9665</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,4,8,3,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You do know dome top pistons in a 351 will probably raise your compression higher than recommended for pump gas right?
