Looking for some input on this budget build.
This is a secondary engine/vehicle. I do not want to spend money on stroker crank etc at this point. I want to use parts I have in my garage if possible.

Here’s what I have:
I have a 360 shortblock with KB hyperutectic flat tops. Zero deck. Comp xe284
I have a couple choices for top end,
1) ported 587 castings with 2.02 & Port O Sonic single plane
2) ported W2 & port matched Strip Dominator
3) ported w2 & untouched Pro Dominator T ram

-The shortblock is together, I could change the cam but it’s broke in and I would rather just use up these old parts and see what it does.
That said, I do have a set of 25 year old Herbert solid rollers that’ have never been run 😎
-vehicle is a ratty old 79 Warlock. 3:91, 727, converter has not been purchased unless I could get away with my ultimate 8” that stalls around 4800!
Truck will be 90% street but not driven often.


I am not looking for the perfect combo obviously. I’m just curious on opinions for the top end and how much could I be leaving on the table with that cam.

Thanks in advance,
Les.
