71 NOVA
Mar 24th, 04, 10:55 AM
Hello! First time poster here!!
I need help putting an engine combination together for a BBC in a 71 nova. I have a 454 block and an aftermarket steel 427-stroke crank. I do have Dart iron eagle 308 heads.
I need to know if a hi compression 427 can get my stripped out nova into the 10’S?
I will be running 28-inch tall tires. A 400 turbo trans, haven’t picked a rear gear yet.
My first suggestion would be about 13:1 compression,
Victor Jr intake
Are the heads too big? Would I be better off with some 049s?
I guess I want to work with what I have rather than buying something else.
I would like to use a Solid flat cam, is this possible?
