engine rebuild


So im thinking of a winter project and thought of doing a stroker kit. I want something thats more streetable and not have to worry about problems down the road. Anyone have any experience with 331 kits? what style of pistons should I use? (i.e. flat, dish, dome).

With a 331, windsor jr heads, e303 cam and a holley 650 double pump, what kind of numbers would i be looking at?

with those heads and cam you wont be looking at a whole lot. The pistons depend on your application. I would say you are wanting a nominal compression engine 10.1 or a little higher so i would opt for flat tops normally they have a -4 to -4.6 cc dish.

with a 331, what would be a good setup, heads/cam wise? Im trying to do something different than what everyone else on the block does. Im not looking at AMAZING power, just something to put those "kids" to school with at the track, but also beable to drive it whenever i want down the street.
