Re: 400/406 Builds

I agree with a little too much cam for the static compression. Have you calculated the dynamic compression? Also the intake port of the heads is a bit too big for the rest of the combo. IMO a 180-195cc intake would be better for your power goals. I hope your tires are fairly tall with those 4.11 gears. A 650-750cfm carb would be fine.

Chevrolet 400ci bored to 406

Scat 9000 cast steel Pro Comp 3.750" stroke crankshaft

Comp Cams Magnum Retro-Fit Hydraulic Roller Camshaft
280/280 duration
0.525"I/0.525"E lift
110 LSA

SRP Forged 21.00cc Dish Pistons, 4.155" bore

Eagle I-Beam forged connecting rods

Dart Iron Eagle Platinum 23 degree cylinder heads
64cc combustion chambers
215cc intake runners
1.600" exhaust valve dia.

Comp Cams 1.6 ratio Ultra Pro Magnum roller rocker arms

Engine will be going in my 1969 SWB C10, with 4.11 gears, 20" wheels and a TH350 auto transmission. Goal of the build was for big torque numbers in the low to mid RPMs which will be used for mainly weekend cruising around.
