my machinist suggested me to run GRP rods since the car is only going to be for track use. Is there a real advantage to aluminum rods. My plan is to build a bullet proof bottom end and upgrade my top end when i can. i really wanna run profiler heads because eventually i wanna make over 1000hp on motor.

well my pistons should be here in two weeks. i just was wondering if a 4.600 bore was too big for my old school A429 heads. But here are some pics of my pushrods and rockers Twisted Evil

yeah if you look at the first pic of the block, on the second main web you can see where its a machined surface then there is a small dark spot. it seems like when the block came out of the casting mold it took some material but there is no cracks. its about the size of a quarter and about 1/16 deep. i guess im just overly picky about stuff i spend over two grand on lol i expect it to be perfect.

T&D shaft rocker arms? or Jesel?
Nice stuff.

A429 heads can be modded to perform very well. Not sure if 900 HP capable.

My A429's were done in 1996. Still have these heads on my 502" Certainly not a maximum effort, didnt flow them over .700" sadly.

Intake (lift / flow @28")
.200 / 152 cfm
.300 / 237
.400 / 293
.500 / 325
.600 / 358
.700 / 376

Exh (lift / flow @28" no pipe)
.200 / 117 cfm
.300 / 161
.400 / 200
.500 / 224
.600 / 245
.700 / 258

Cool build, reminds me of the '67 mustang that came with one of my summit catalogs. It was a 572 with SCJ heads.

well i sold my old a429's, intake, carb, and A460 block. and picked up C-heads, T&D rockers, Ross gas ported pistons, GRP aluminum rods and in a few weeks im picking up a eliminator premier block. My final combo is going to be 632 cubes. i wanna make 1100hp hopefully i will be able to.
