that cam is to small.also that m,anifold will not fit these heads,u have to use the victor jr manifold thats comming with them(they are raised port heads so ur typical manifold will not fit them),generally u get about 20-30 hp per pt of cr u go up,the cam is gonna have alot to do with this engine also.
which ever cam goes in the motor is gonna determine the cr ratio.i need to know what gear ratio u have in the rear,and do u still have a stock converter

[WayFast84]

I have the stock converter but will get a new one if you feel its important

I have 3.08 but dont worry about that because I will be switching to posi and what ever gear you recomend

I trust you and your judgement

[project89]

hmmm 3.08's arent real good but it could be worse.lemme see what i come up with for a cam and then ill let y aknow better on converter and gears,problem is this intake wont make much tq down low,and installing a larger cam just makes that even worse.im gonna find something that will let u use what u have for now,till u can upgrade the rear/converter,then u can swap the cam to something larger down the road,when ur ready for more power

[WayFast84]

I dont want to be a dick but id rather have the larger cam in now.

Its cheaper plus a cam install is a bitch, I know everyones like your 14 and you cant handle the power, and youll do something stupid.

Well I probably will, but not till Im in my 20's..

Im like that I dont **** up because Im scared to, and scared of what ill loose, then when I do screw up, I learn from it and get more comfortable and dont do it again.

[project89]

its not that,if u dont have the right converter/gears driveability will suffer with a large cam.it wont cruise right/will lack power etc

[WayFast84]

well It depends what gears, converter I have no problem with because Its easier with the motor out, as long as their not 4.10's I can get gears for christmas, and the car will only see the street about 6 times between now and then.

[WayFast84]

Idk if its just me but, Id rather do it the right way the first time...

[project89]

im not talking im gonna give u some small ass cam,but its not gonna be an all out power cam either,im trying to keep the motor nice and civil for u,not to mention cheap.

[WayFast84]

Ok I just dont want to go and spend money now, and then 3 years later have to spend another 300 bucks on a cam. Ive done that before with my headers I ended up wasting 500 bucks...

Like I said Im not trying to make it seem like I want the most power I can get, I just would like to get everything done with the engine now so I dont buy more mods..

forget about cost, it would be more expensive to buy a cam now then a stall then gears then 2 years from now get new of those parts

[NJSPEEDER]

you have the cam already and you have already started taking the engine apart for the install. jsut stab the thing in there. it is tons better than stock and will make nice power.

But Im thinking out side the box, if it was me a year ago i would do it but heres where I stand

The parts I will be returning will get me Half of what dave said it would be around on aim, Parts that ill be returning wont be a waste of money, I will have a rebuilt engine about 2 1/4 times better then stock.

heres where it gets tricky.

i will have to install the motor my self, and figure out how to get her runing I will most likely need a new distributer and deffinatly a tc lock up.


so heres my question

Do I spend a couple hundred(after returning parts) for a nice motor, or stick with the lg4.

wayfast i was giving u the right dizzy with the motor,since i have liek 4 of them lol
