Pontiac 400 engine advice needed...
I am looking for some advice on the engine I am building for my car. First of all I am looking for a a smooth idle (it is a convertible) with as much torque as possible on a budget. I am looking for a recommendation as to which parts I should use from what I have to get a good low to mid range power. This car will be a cruiser not a race car.
The block I am using is a 1973 Pontiac 400 X5 block...stock bore. I have 2 sets of heads...
1)1973 4x heads- I believe 2.11 intake/1.66 exhaust and 98CC
2)1970 11 heads-I believe 1.96 intake/1.66 exhaust
And I have 2 intakes
1)Holly Street Dominator single plane
2) Pro Comp Air Gap dual plane
I will be using an eldelbrock 4 barrel carb
Again I want a smooth idle and a good low to mid response. The best fuel economy possible would be nice too.
Which combo should I use? What would be the best cam to use?
Thanks for any advise anyone has.
