: Okay, life with my Mav just got kicked into high gear...
: Timing chain is shot..big time. The car barely runs. So, my
: plans for rebuilding my spare engine are being accelerated really quickly.
: So, naturally, I have a few questions:
: 1. A freind of mine has an AOD tranny that he just removed from his car.
: This tranny was rebuilt within the last two years. Besides the required
: aftermarket shifter (for overdrive), and shortening the driveshaft
: is there anything else required to make this work.
: 2. What would be better, a set of early heads reworked or a set of late
: model 5.0 heads? Can a set of basically stock (port & polish etc)
: '70ish 302 heads flow with a decent cam and 600cfm carb?
: Here's what I am considering:
: Holley 600 (model 4160 modified to a 4150 (almost...))
: Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake
: Edelbrock Performer RPM cam & lifters (or Motorsport 270 int, 280 exh
: duration and 472 int, 484 exh lift)
: MSD 6AL ignition system
: 9.0:1 compression
: TCI Rattler or Fluidamper
: 3.55 rearend
: 2 1/4" exhaust with Dynomax mufflers
: Any advise would be welcome and appreciated
: P.S., if any one with Desk Top Dyno feels
: up to it, I would appreciate know about
: what to expect from this engine
: Thanks, Brian
