Hows This For A First Swap?

Eagle Forged 4340 3.75" stroke/std/std Crankshaft
Scat 6.00" 4340 Forged H-Beam Rods With ARP Cap Screws
SRP 11.0:1 [w/64cc head] Forged Pistons
Federal Mougal Std. Connecting Rod & Main Berrings & Moly Ring Set
-----------
$2800 Canadian

Gm Fastburn Heads for $1300

Used TPI Intake >$1000

the compression ratio is a little steep so i might go with the deep dish pistons and change the cc ratio on the heads. am i missing anything besids the cam? ( pick one for me ). hope to put this on a 383 with a 150hp shot of nos (max) sometime soon. would you make any changes?

i think your getting in a little over your head for a first rebuild, unless you have someone helping you that knows what there doing it might be a better idea to do a more mild cheaper build to get the hang of things.

thanks for your concern, but the guys helping me with this are provincial points leaders for like the last 5 years in circle track racing. they have a little bit of experience. i was looking to see if this combo will hold up and how much power is expected.
