With careful spending and the right parts, we build an SBC that’s perfect for your street car project!
We love big-inch engines that make stupid amounts of power. But that’s not the real world for most people. Sure, it’s cool to aspire to a 600-plus-hp mill, but big power costs big bucks and isn’t always the easiest to live with on the street.
Think of the camshaft as the engine’s analog computer; it’s key to making good power. Of course, there’s a fine line between power and street manners. Since this mill is dropping into a sweet street-cruiser Nova, we opted to not go nuts on the cam. The Comp stick specced out at 230/230 duration with lift 0.480 for both intake and exhaust along with a healthytake a lot of abuse, and they aren’t expensive, so there’s no reason to skip replacing when doing a rebuild.
We have to admit that these new DHC heads look pretty cool, and with a coat of paint, only a pro would notice the performance upgrade.. Of course, if you were in full stealth mode, you could use stock hardware, but we like the holding power of the ARP stuff. After all, we’ve been known to add boost or a shot of nitrous from time to time. We also used ARP’s accessory bolt kit since they look great, and we were missing most of the original hardware.
There are many directions you can go in terms of rockers, from stock stamped steel to really fancy pieces. We chose to reuse a set of stainless 1.6-ratio roller rockers we had left over from some crate engine tests. Rockers like these can be found online for just over 100 bucks.Speaking of intakes, this engine is destined for a cruiser so low- and midrange power was our goal. With that in mind, we chose a Weiand Speed Warrior dual-plane aluminum intake .
