Re: New to BBC
I paid $700 for some H-beams and Forged KB's. $300 for the crank. you can save a lot on KB forged. The heads were $1400. A BBC short block will handle lots of power in stock form. No need to get the 4340 stuff for a street app. Will save lots there.

Re: New to BBC
look for 781, 049 or 990 heads the first two are big oval ports and should be easier to find. The third set is a closed chamber square port like came on original ls7's in Chevelle's, Corvette's and Nova's.

Re: New to BBC
hey guys can you give me some input on solid roller setup on the street as far as duration and lift ranges that are safe for 10:1 to 10.25:1 on 93 octane
