This is my first big block build and thought I would share what I did. This build was frustrating at times but it's well worth it in the end.
514- 4.440bore x 4.150stroke
Scat Rotating assembly, 6.700 I-Beam rod, JE SRP 28cc inverted dome pistons.
Cam- Re-incarnation custom XR292 Solid Roller 250/[email protected] .662/.686 - I set it up at 6 deg retarded to keep the torque down at lower rpm.
Intake- Port-O-Sonic single plane - has NOT been ported.
Carb- Holley 850 Double Pumper - no spacer because of hood clearance.
Oil Pan- Ford Fox Body - added a baffle in the rear sump.
Oil Pump- Melling HV - also modified the front sump as the pump was hitting the bottom. Oil pan would not go on until this was done.
Distributor- MSD - 10deg initial with 31 total and heavy advance springs.
Exhaust- Hooker Super Competition 2" into a 3.5" collector.
Heads- DOVE's with 2.250 intake and 1.750 exhaust, ported myself with the help of http://reincarnation-automotive.com/ website porting tips.

.100 89 68
.200 165 120
.300 224 147
.400 267 169
.500 290 179
.600 302 181
.700 313 181
.750 318
.800 321
Rockers- Harland Sharp
I installed this into my 79 Ford Fairmont Futura which previously had a fuel injected 302, which had gone 11.20's. The car did weigh 2900lbs with the small block and me in it (185lbs) and now weighs 3165lbs.
I'm using a C4 reverse manual valve body, TCI 4500 stall, 8.8 rear end with 3.27 gears and 31 spline axles and spool. The rear tires are 275/50 15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials.
Here's the time slip from the second run out.
60' 1.523
330' 4.313
1/8 6.680
MPH 103.93
1000' 8.734
1/4 10.47
MPH 129.01
Feetfirst was there and can vouch for me.
I was also footbraking it, shifting at 5500rpm and the DA for the day was 2950'.
Also forgot to add that I am using the stock hood and closes with a Moroso air filter on, with not much space to spare.
I never thought the car would be this fast! All I was trying to do was build a motor that would run the 10.90 index class and not have to rev the hell out of it. Now I have to try and slow it down. LOL!
A BIG Thanks goes out to Hugo (Feetfirst) for all his help and advice on getting the right parts for this build. If it wasn't for him I would have not attempted this build as there is very few builders who know how to build the big block in this area. Also like to thank Scott from Reincarnation for the custom cam and fast shipping and to the guys on this board for there advice.
Thanks
