Well it all started as a Cam/ lifter replacement on my '69 390.I was going to replace the cam with a stock sized replacement.
Then I started thinking why not a little more aggressive. Then I thought how about better heads, etc, etc...
Now I have the motor out of the car, and pulled apart. Some freshly rebuilt late model heads ready to go. I'm just about ready to start reconstruction, and I don't want to forget anything.
The motors going back into a '69 AMX 4speed 3.15 rear gear (I'm thinking of switching to 4.11)
1.What oiling mods are needed? (I’m going to do the lifter
valley bypass)
2.What size push rods do I need to use?
3.Do I reuse the original intake manifold or a '70 up?
4.If I use a '70 and up will it need to have machine work?
5.Any recommendations for a cam?
Thanks
