New guy here. A bit confused by all the options out there, so I'll post what I think I'm aiming for and try to gather some info from the experts...
'83 F100 shortbox rwd
'77 460 engine .030 over.
C6 trans
Currently, Crane HMV-272 cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, tri-Y headers, about 9:1. I want to repower and get driving it again. Want to run 91 octane or less (availability), preferably aluminum heads, Holley Sniper efi. Hopefully 500-700hp, but don't want a screamer (rpm), more a reliable street cruiser, with a very occasional 1/4 mile blast.
I've been eyeing the Edelbrock #2045 top end kit as something to bolt on and go at a reasonable price. I know these kits are often a compromise, but don't know of any other "kits", and don't want to buy a bunch of parts that will not cooperate. Also wondering about a stroker kit.... try and accomplish goals more through displacement than rpm.?
I'm in Canada, so the exchange rate makes the cost a challenge, but also fighting a bit of time deadline, so please nothing that's custom order months out.
I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas. Thanks.
