455 build - advice needed
hey there,
finally the block is stripped and the machine shop told me that it just needs a rehone...crank just needs polishing.
goal: as much torque as possible
budget: around 3k $ (w/o heads)
so this is my shopping list so far...only rotating assembly:
- FelPro Rear Main Seal Ford 460cui FEL-BS40032
- ARP Main Bolt Kit 185-5001
- Clevite Camshaft Bearings SH1354S
- Clevite Main Bearings MS804P
- Sealed Power Rod Bearings 8-3345P
- Keith Black Piston and Ring Kit KB277KTM-STD
- Comp Cams Timing Set 2113
- Eagle H-Beam Connecting Rods 6735O3D
- Scat Balancer D-80022
...estimated CR 10,25:1..wanted to go with these babies but could'nt find them in standard bore size
- 4500lbs car
- stock exhaust manifolds
- stock toronado low rise intake
- 4bbl Qjet
- pro comp heads - roller set up
- custom cam by cutlassefi (i hope )
- power brakes / AC
- street/strip use
- gear 3.08
- stock converter (...will change to fit cam)
- stock tire size (15")
- dual exhaust
any suggestions??
P.S.: i also thought about an eagle stroker kit...but this definitely needs oversize bore...and as long as the block won't need this, i guess its better to save the material for later rebuilds..(?)

..and you will have hood clearance issues with aftermarket intake manifolds....despite that..the stock toro intakes flow really good....(like i heard)
