Hi All, First time poster here.
Now from the outset I want to say that I am not a mustang owner, one day maybe, so dont hate on me. But instead I am rebuilding a ZD fairlane. From all my searching through forums I have found this one full of knowledge and incite, particularly from ones like barnett468 and shaunp, hence the reason for this post.
So, I am building a 347 from a 93 oem roller block. About to send it off to be bored, tq plate honed, decked and line bored.
As for parts i currently have
Scat 9000 crank and I beam rods
ARP main studs, clevite P bearings
Mahle power pack piston & ring assembly
Promaxx max series ally heads, (advertised flow of 267 on intake and 196 ex @ .550 lift) these have an advertised combustion chamber of 60cc but so far i have measured them at 61 or 56 depending on which device I use. Have a proper burette coming so will know more then.
For intake I am using an edelbrock Pro Flow 4 Sequential injection unit, which is essentially a super victor manifold with throttle body on top and port injectors.
Usually I would select a cam and build up from there, but on this occasion it started with a good deal on some heads, which turned into thoughts of a rebuild, which stretched out to stroking etc..
Now I have parts and are looking for other parts to complement.
So here is my first series of questions which i would like some input on if its not to much trouble.
I have my eye on 2 cams, both Howards.
222755-08 278 284 / 225 231 / .533 .544 on 108LSA
220255-10 284 288 / 231 235 / .544 .565 on 110LSA
Car is approx 1500kg (3300lb) will run a BTR 4 speed auto ( 1st - 2.39:1,2nd - 1.45:1,3rd - 1.00:1,4th - 0.68:1) and a 3.45 lsd out of a AU XR8 ute.
It will be a weekend cruiser so after strong midrange, prefer to sacrifice a little at the top to preserve low end. Happy to rev to 6200 - 6500 when needed.
So far, depending on what the heads cc at my compression ratio looks to be at 10.47 - 10.82, quench will be 0.039"
Do you think comp would be to high for 95 or will it need to be on 98 all the time?
What cam in your experience would be suited?
I do have other questions, but thought I would start on these 2.
Thanks in advance
JR
