Greetings listees, I haven't sent you an update for a bit. Been busy with life, prepping for winter, and a move back to Vancouver to go back to school to become a Railway conductor(So I can actually make money, finish a few cars etc). Anyways i'm in a peculiar situation of I bought a engine case and some cylinder heads a while ago and now need to figure out what internals I want to throw at it. The car in question already has the suspension, brakes, tires and a custom Kafer style brace(AKA a Airspeed drag bar, with adjustable drop links) so I'm sure the car can handle the power. End goal is a nice weather cruiser that has good power and can attend the odd drag racing event. Plus show off to my friends a bit to be perfectly honest.
Other factors to be included I will be running stock style sheetmetal tin. I bought a Porsche fanshroud but it just won't work for the car. I have two decklids for it now too. One a convertible style the other a regular 62. My case is a brand new aluminum super case. Here are the specs on my heads. They haven't had any porting done to them yet but I'm not opposed to getting the worked. 94 bore, and 42x37.5 is the valve sizing.... I know years(Okay maybe a decade ago) we were working on a "engine cookbook" but i'm sure thats now offline or hidden somewhere. Basically I'm kinda locked into what i'm building based on my case and what I got for heads. But I want a nice compromise of driveability and power.... Carb choice will be a "period correct" jetted properly set of IDAs. I want to run a sidewinder style exhaust but i'm kinda leaving the building wisdom up to you guys of sizing and where to go from there.
