My build thread.. 63 LS powered C10

[Super73]

Marv,

It is somewhat budget related, honestly. The AFR 225's that I had were essentially brand new. I put maybe 1,000 miles on them. A buddy wanted them and I wanted a different set of heads (slightly bigger runner, bigger valve, flow about 10% more air). I sold my AFR's and bought my current heads and cam used for slightly less money than what my AFR's sold for. So it basically was a wash. I was however in the hole slightly with having to buy new head and intake gaskets. But talking minor out of pocket.

With this recent round of head work, well, I now have more in to a used set of heads than if I would have bought them new with the upgraded guides, light weight valves and new springs (springs I bought come on the heads new, old owner put new springs on but a lesser spring).

So, I had budget in mind. We all know poop happens. Live and learn I suppose.

The solid rollers I have will not work in my block as the oil gallies changed in 2001. I reused the ones that were in my old 347, sr's would cost me $600-$800.

Adjustable rockers range for $600 to $1500, and we both know I would probably buy on the higher side.

Ned a different pushrod (which I am buying now).

Buy a cam.

See, I have a budget build
