how big ???

guys am finally able to start my new motor. it s going in my 86 coupe with a powerglide, but my question is this. how big ? with all the options i am a little lost. this will be in a stock block with mildly ported scj's , victor and 1050 dommy help all opinions are welcome

The feeling seems to be to go as big as you can. The cubes will make you happy!!

With the big cubes you can use the heads you have and go bigger with the heads and cam down the road if you want to.

Easy and safe, would be the .030 over bore with any of the available stroker cranks. The 4.14/4.15 stuff is usually an offset ground stock crank, and the 4.3 and 4.5" are the most popular aftermarket cranks. Any of the above will do just fine. The best is always subjective, and will depend on your goals. If you have a set ET you are shooting for, the more cubes, usually the more torque the motor will make. On the flip side, if you have more torque than your chassis can handle you are not going to get the full potential of the motor, and possibly destroy some stuff on the way. Hope this helps.

Guyton ??? I think Doug and I know where that is...lol

86.. I know where there is a good 466 for fairly cheap.... basically ready to go. I built the motor a few years ago..

Let me know if you're interested...

86, take MIKE up on that deal, it's a GOOD motor.

If either of the Stevens or Mr. Rahn were to offer me an engine of theirs, I'd be all over it in a flash. Nice people and know their stuff when it comes to these engines.

Thanks for the kind words Schmitty..

This is the 466 I built for one of my crew guys...A429 heads, victor intake, etc, etc... It's for sale again on the "other" site. He got out of racing and sold his car...You can't build a good motor for what he is trying to sell it for..

thanks mike. i will call u soon. craig

LOL wondered if that was you Craig..

Motor is the one that was in the silver coupe and then the 03 chassis car...

Craig, since you worked for Redd the last couple of times the track was open, has he said anything about when the track will open in 2010?
