Hey everyone,
Well for the last few months my Chevelle has been backfiring and running like
crap. I finally figured out what the deal was yesterday....The exhaust valve on
#8 is burnt. The motor is old and tired. So I'm going to rebuild it.
So any idea's for engine combo's?? I don't have a bunch of money to spend on
this but I would like to bump up the performance of it. Right now it's a really
stock 454, 8:1 compression. I'm thinking about bumping up the compression to
9:1, adding a cam, and if I can afford them, maybe some aluminum heads. I think
that would really waken up this motor. But basically this is a street car
that's cruised 99.9% of the time. So I want the drive-ability.
Anybody else care to chime in?
Thanks!
-Tim
