Re: "Sid Vicious" aka "yeller" My 79 chevy

so I will go into a little more detail on the new engine build

350 bored .060 over
mahle dome forged pistons with low friction rings
Lunati 6" connecting rods
forged steel crank lightened and balanced
Bowtie phase II heads
Bowtie dual plane intake
268 comp cam
Scorpion 1.5 roller rockers
Demon carb 650 cfm
MSD hei dist

so with all this it should be a solid runner, with good street manners and to be able to pass a car or 2 on the road, and get moderate gas mileage
about 12-1 compression so I will need to upgrade the starter, and run 91+ octane
I know the the cam is on the small side, but is close to the largest cam before I need to change gearing and stall,
after the last 2 attempts of building a motor for my truck, first try resulting in over cammed and valve float, and needing to change stall speed and rear gears,
2nd attempt closer to what I was wanting, ran good had good power lacked compression and resulted in showing what an old worn bottom end does when you push it to hard,
so with my 3rd attempt, alot more thought, more planning and over kill in ways but should do what I want it to, have decent power and still be mild enough to be my DD
