I'm getting ready to get the parts for my 496 bb
so far the very helpful MR WOLF GUY has sent me
info. on what will be a good 496 stroker kit
now i have a cam and intake that was going to go in to my 454 rebuild. a LUNATI 00026
.549/.558 LIFT 232 IN/239 EX DURATION @ .050
.293/.239 ADVERTISED DURATION@.050
the intake is a RPM PREFORMER oval port
I would like to get the most that i out of this motor if i can do better than what i got as far as cam and intake let me
know . my heads are 781 2.190/1.880
CR will be around 10.1 to 1
rear get is stock now 2.73 but will be going with a 3.73 soon, seeing that this is a big TQ motor I was told that i wouldn't want a deep gear?? oh ya 750 holley carb. 3310

Where do you want your HP peak? Do you want to soften the torque off idle, might be a good idea with a 496 eh....

I have a 70 its motor frame body glass hood
two racing seats ALUM. door panels and some day i will paint it but as far as peak HP and soften
the TQ off the line let me know what ya know still kinda new to the magic of the cam

I installed a good old CC 282S solid in my about 9.8 to 1 CR., 496 and per D2k it should put out right at 550 hp at 5500 rpm and 580 t at 4500 rpm so to me is a great big "tow-truck" motor!!

Please consider an Isky 280 Mega cam ground on 110 LCA if you have to have a hy-cam.

280/232, 110/?, .565".

The Lunati 00026 cam is 293/232/310/239, 110/104, .549"/.558".

OR call Harold direct at Lunati's AND get his recommendation if you can catch him, (or Steve, I think?)...

PS., running I don't remember how many cams through D2K told me that for what I want, the good old 282S is fine!! I know it is just a sim. program but still I figure it is better then me guessing...

AND one last point is that you will make more power throughout the power curve with a solid then you will with a same spec'ed hy-cam that matches the solid so that's why I went solid!!

I think you can use a little more duration especially with 496ci. For what it's worth I'm running a 250/250 @ .050 in my 468 with no problems. The more cubic inches the more streetable the aggresive cam will become.

GREAT KEEP EM COMING

I just switched from 245@50 653 sr to a 251@50 683sr. ..WIll know soon how it works...

I'm just talking about a good old, "grocery-getter" type street cam here is all...

Carry-on..
