Hi All going to start with my re build.
Truck has a good 352.. Kinda want to keep the block.. Have a set of c8ae-h heads. want to make a solid lifter motor.. Have a comp 292s cam
Is this cam too much for this motor??
Could bore 0.050 and install scat 3.98 kit??
keeping it manual tranny
Any Thoughts??

 

correction cam is a comp 294s

 

From the Comp Cams write up on JEGs:

"The 294S Solid Magnum Cam is a maximum performance cam. This cam should be used in high compression 4-speed cars. The 294S makes great top-end power and works well with ported heads"

You gonna run 11:1 compression and 4.56 or 4.88 gears?

You do not need solid lifters. Roller hydraulics work just fine if you want to have a more aggressive cam. But I think that cam is too hot for pickup motor unless you are going drag racing.

 

I have to agree .
Im still looking at several options.
Just picked up a 390??
Look at my other thread "390 deal"

 

Correction again, I need new glasses lol
Cam is a comp 282S, I have comp 812-16 solid lifters, a buddy gave me a new set of Crane adjustable rockers 1.76 adjustable #34772-16, and a new set of crane push rods #34645-16.
I have a good set of rebuilt c8ae_h heads, will need different springs
Motor I'm going to use, I just stripped it down , d6 or 8te 390 block already bored 30 over, I will take it to 40 over to clean up bores, a 3U crank, alreadt 10 under, but in real nice shape.
I'm not sure about intake and carb.. I will do some light porting and polishing myself.
I need to sourse out some pistons, don't want to break the bank, but would like forged set. the rods I have are c6ae-b, do ya all think they will be ok??

 

here's a link. Great folks over there with lots of parts and knowledge.
