I was doing some research on a big block build and ran across this form and was very impressed with the information that is available!! thanks for the help and info in advance.
 
WERE ALWAYS GLAD TO HELP!
if you have further questions please post them
what displacement, compression engine are you building?
and what components are you using?
I've lost count of the BBC engines I've built and helped build
but even a properly designed and assembled 396 BBC can put out respectable power numbers

Hey , I need some of your wisdom on a cam choice; I have talked with some of the cam companies out there and two cam grinders, cam motion, and Clay Smith. It seems everyone has a different recommendation; I have spent a lot of time on this forum and i am very impressed with the knowledge that is shared on here! That is way I am contacting you. I am building a 1967 C10 two wheel drive short box...hot rod. the truck will never go track but i want a heavy hitting street basher that will be driven on the weekend!
It's a 30 over 427 BBC SRP #158830 hi dome pistons
Depending on the block HT it could be 11 to one or as high as 12 to one compression; with a 122 cc head from Brodix with a 305 runner; trying to keep the RPM range below 6500 also a dual plane intake. I would prefer a hydraulic roller but a solid roller is not off the table. Cam motion said they have a low lash solid roller; not sure about it, i have never heard of it but that don't mean anything! It will have a built turbo 400 trans...will buy the converter as needed. Ford 9 inch rear end with a 340 gear 28 inch tall tires.
Block is going to the machine shop next week. Everything but the crank and block are after market. I understand building a 427 and trying to keep it below 6500 RPM is kinda backwards thinking but as long as i can remember i wanted to do a old school 427 BBC
if you need more info please feel free to message me back
Thank you very much
