[userbmx1315]

so i finally got my block and all took to the shop.
4wt crank and rods
95 block
.040 pistons
this cam http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CCA%2D68%2D232%2D4&autoview=sku
99+ intake
going to bore the throttle body
edlebrock header
magnum vavle spring on the head (cant remember year, was told it was the most free flowing stock head)
going to try and get a down tube for the exaust and a high flow cat.
maybe a flowmaster muffler


sound good? anything i need to watch out for?

this is my old thread most of it has changed since then

Don't go wtih Flowmaster - they don't "flow" very well at all by CFM numbers. Go Magnaflow or some other straight-through.
Other than that, sounds great.
Did you look at the APN header, though? Cheaper than edelbrock & its built just the same as a Banks...

 

[userbmx1315]

i have a used edelbrock thats only 6 months old.
what other muffler choices do you (or anyone) recomend?

i'd like to get a high flow cat with the O2 sensor on it like a stock one. but i dont want to order it. like to get it at a store locally. any cheap name brands?

There's more to flowmaster than the flow.

A magnaflow muffler is good for 2-4 good hits, and then its trash. A flowmaster is its own skid plate..

you are refering to the 7120 casting head

 

[userbmx1315]

i believe thats the numbers. think he said it was a 94 head.
finally got all my stuff from the shop. just got to wait till a day its not raining to start putting it together.

with the parts i have does anyone thinki'll be able to run 87octain? or will i need to go with 89?

If you aren't dishing the pistons then you won't run 87... maybe 89

 

[userbmx1315]

what exactly do you mean dishing them?

 

[Talyn]

Dishing is making the current dish on the piston larger. Since you don't list your piston part number I assume it is one of the variety of 4.0L replacements coupled to the 258 rod, all of which has a fairly small dish for a stroker. Increasing the dish increased the combustion volume, lowering the compression ratio. What is your planned compression ratio and quench?
