Recipe for a reliable 400 driver
My goal is to build a dead-reliable, drive anywhere, Pontiac 400 that will hold up for a bunch of miles. I am not going for high performance, just similar to what a stock 1971 engine would have. Stories of lifter failures and “China” parts that fail have me wondering.
Do I need a roller cam and all that entails? What compression ratio is okay to avoid pinging on 91 or lower octane. The ignition modules in my Accel HEI fail occasionally, is there a better, longer lasting choice for ignition/distributor? I have a 1971 block with 96 heads going into a 1972 lemans |
