Hello all,
Getting ready to start the engine rebuild on the 396 L-35 for my 66ss restoration and I had a few questions. I was thinking of some "internal" upgrades I should do rather than leaving everything stock but didn't though if these were cost justified. Roller rockers, forged pistons, high-perf rods, etc. Does anybody have an opinion about this. I plan on showing the car mostly but do plan on driiving it alot, so I want the most horsepower and durability possible without wasting money and damaging my #'s matching engine.
I plan on keeping the stock holley carb/intake but was going to upgrade the cam to the 360 hp specs. Is there a problem with this. From the info I have this was the only differce between the 325 and 360 hp engines.
Thanks
