About the 224/224 @ .50 cam. Should I go steeper than this? I calculated the cr to be about 9.1 to 1.

Don't go any further up in duration if you expect to have any lower
end torque with a 350.

JustinD rebuild ....

jord2720

Justin just got finished with my L48 rebuild. Just wondered were you were on your project. Last entry I saw was 2005, so you may have finished by now. I went with the L31 vortec Iron heads and it turned out way better than my expections. At a comfortable price I might add!!!!! Ground up took best part of 2 weeks, and that's including machine shop Parts ordering time. Mine is/was a stock 80 L48/auto.

If ya want 400 +HP, and still use a cam that talks, and still use you stock convertor let me on here if your interested.

Had my cylinders bored .30 over to fit them and got a rebuild kit for another 100. And a new cam. Then I would be good to go. About how much is it to have the cylinders bored?

I'm in north GA. Last I bored was 10$ a hole, but thats been awhile. I checked out your piston and that will get the job done , but if its not to late I would consider the same in a Hypereutectic piston....Price is no were near the price of forged pistons.
Check out this site for additional info on there pistons. Federal Mogul ....good stuff at a fair price. Check out this site additional info.http://<u>http://www.federal-mogul.c...reutectic/</u>Piston & ring set 215$ at summit. Link below tells ya all about them. Just thought you might want to check it out?? There there ones I bought, but standard bore.

I actually got a cheap set of new flat tops with the pins. They are federal mogul. The machine shop that I went to had them extra because a guy didn't end up using them he needed dished, so they cut me a deal on them 80 bucks for all 8 with the labor of installing the rods.
