Thanks for the replies.

I was swagging about aiming for 9.5:1, so 10:1 seems reasonable with good quench. A secondary goal is good mileage (Ha!), so this would help eek a little more out. After I'm done with the engine I'm going to look for a 518/46rh to swap in.

I found a set of 318 mag heads at the junkyard last time, but I think the truck had ~200k on it They're only $25 each, but would probably take quite a bit to rework. Unless I just threw them on with new springs and called it good. Is there a difference between the mag 318 & 360 heads?

Looked up that Hughes intake Link $600 But they claim up to +6mpg

I was also considering the MP MPI FI intake from summit for half the price link

Those cam specs seem reasonable.

Oh yea, would a girdle be a good thing to have with this build? I was already planning on main studs instead of bolts. I don't think I'll need head studs at this point. (?)

I might just grab the JY heads while I'm there. I may end up not having enough $$$ for new heads and the hughes intake at the same time


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
