I will be pulling my engine this fall for a winter build and would like some suggestions if willing. What I know now is she's a 440, .030" over TRW L2295's with 906 heads so we'll assume 10.5/1 compression. I am looking at intake manifolds that will fit under the hood of a 1965 Satellite as I don't want to cut any of this car. I can acquire another hood if that's what it will take I guess. Holley 780. I am pretty much sold on a solid roller cam setup and this is a 4 speed car with a 4.10 gear out back. I am just a weekend warrior and this car will likely never see the strip, I just want it to run right and sound great for a couple hours a month. A radical camshaft/idle is probably what I am looking for here as I am sure the power will be plenty. I am sticking with manual brakes.
I think those pistons are relatively common for an upgrade through the years. Just wanted to hear some opinions on what combinations have been run and have been successful. Intake and camshaft is what I need to make decisions on. I was considering some affordable aftermarket aluminum heads but would rather spend the dough on a good roller valve-train setup for dependability since the engine will likely make plenty of power with the factory heads. Thanks guys for any input!!
