What is the displacement?

What is the compression ratio?

Stock pistons for what? 360? 390? 390 truck, car, etc? 360 pistons in a 390?

It all makes a difference!

Well, if it's a stock 390, with stock pistons, for that year truck, I'd take a look at the Comp 33-234-4.

OBTW, rockers are not self adjusting. They are either adjustable or they aren't.

You can get it from Summit Racing. It is made by Competition Cams.

Just type 33-234-4 in their search on Summit. Dont forget you need new lifters.

I had asked this once before kind of.. but since there is a new thread on it and my build is rather commited now as if it werent from the start due to funds and just plain stubborn bullheadedness..LOL

Any chance of getting a real basic idea of where this motor might be now versus when stock via a desk dyno ?

It was a bone stock 1966 352 truck motor, 2 bbl, logs, C6TEG heads, flat top pistons.. cam specs as per book read (Intake/Exhaust: @ lifter .232 @ valve .401)

after the ridge reamer stunt it's a 352 .030 -246NP .030 pistons with valve reliefs, 2bbl, logs, C6TEG heads, crank is standard, and RV cam specs (Dur@50 Int:204/Exh:214, Valve lift Int: .484/Exh: .510, Lobe Sep Int:107/Exh117

I'm just looking for a comparison from old to new for a general expectation.
(Powerband,Trq,HP) kinda wondering what my driving habits should be for it to be happy...

TIA Redman
