Quote: I read MadDart's post on FABO & very cool. I've also got Caltracs & 5" narrowed 8 3/4 w/ 3.55's. I forgot to mention my 68 S has fiberglass fenders & hood, so I gotta keep the exhaust temps down for sure. the 451 has eddy heads, TM6 intake, 440 source kit & is about 10:1, so I'll swap the pistons for 8:1 or 8.5:1 coated ones & the Engle hyd cam has a 112 lobe sep so maybe it'll be ok. I think its an AMC K57/58 grind or a K56/58. Twin turbos would look awesome.
Yeah, I went to 9:1 due to the cam choice. Depending on the head gasket it will drop a point or two. 8.5 is ideal in most circumstances. I have found that less duration(2.30ish) and more lobe seperation(114-116) is ideal but I am no expert. I think as long as you get the hotside coated and wrapped there will be no issues with heat. I would also look into a 2.91-3.23 gear depending on what size the rear tires are. This will help with the fuel economy and put a ton of "Load" on the turbo(s).
