engine builder help
so i am building a new motor for my car it's looking to be like a 355 tpi
my bottom end is in the machine shop right now the guy wants 900 to do the whole bottom end and put it together with a new kit
is that a good price?
i have a set of dart iron heads idk the specs on them if someone can tell me how to find them i would be gratefull i bought them off my friend who does a lot of racing he said they are ported. the springs are huge in comparison to the stock heads
this is what i need from you guys
cam
rocker arms
length of pushrods
maybe new intake
anything else i forgot just mention it please
i need the car on the road once the weather warms up so if i can hold off on getting a different intake by siamesing this one i will
also what is better mail ordering a chip or learning how to tune it
the car is going to be my daily which is why i am staying with tpi because i have to pass nj state inspection i am on a budget but its not real small i also have a new rear end with disc brakes and an eaton 3.23 posi unit nd i have the adjustable brake pressure

Re: engine builder help
To pick the best cam for your combo the model # for the heads needs to be found. Also you need to make sure they are emissions legal to pass inspection. They need to have the heat risers.
