Project Junky Junk

[shady]

I think you should have a guess the hp. game on it as it is now. I'll say 218.

[manofmerc]

In this order truck headers intake and 4bbl. Maybe some pistons with a decent compression height and some port work on the stock after that the your stroker kit and tfs heads .Doug

[Joe-JDC]

1.  Timing chain set/Damper/headers/tune up
2.  Gasket matched Streetmaster/Holley Street Dominator/Ported Performer 390
3.  Summit 750 carb
4.  Dura Spark Distributor with recurve and box
5.  Hydraulic roller with 224-228* @ .050, .550" 106* ICL  112 LC
6.  Port heads, 2.100/1.600 11/32 hollow stem valves with beehive springs and titanium retainers
7.  Mill heads
8.  Your rocker system with custom pushrods. (#6-8 at same time)
9.  Rebuild bottom end with crankshaft ground and rods turned down to 2.200" for 6.800" rods, Forged pistons 1.5/1.5/3.0.
10.Canton oil pan with windage screen, stock blueprinted oil pump, distributor drive, roller timing set/cam change?
11. TFS heads/Ported Street Dominator

This seems like Deja Vu from a couple of years ago?

[HarleyJack17]

IF budget allows it would be cool to see what a intake swap and headers netted....kind of like the basic mechanical skills of a newby maybe...just to see.
It would be too much to see it all....that would be 3 or 4 dyno sessions.

We all know a good cam with TFS heads will make it scream along with a performer...curious to see this play out. What is it going it, or just to be sold later?

[blykins]

In response to Joe....

Maybe, I have random engine fantasies that come and go. 

I'm going to limit the amount of parts swapping as much as I can to help with the budget.   Won't be buying a couple of cams, nor will I be porting the factory heads.   I'm not a head porter and I hate to spend money in the same area twice. 

Other items on your list will be done just by default.  The dyno won't accept manifolds, so it will get headers off the bat, as well as triggering an MSD box. 

Seems like we're all generally on the same page though, except everyone else's lists are longer than mine ROFL

If I do take it down, I'll probably work in a 4bbl manifold swap on the same day to save dyno sessions.

What happened to your other 352 project from a while back with the enclosed cam tunnel?

[blykins]

Cam tunnel came out and I had to use the block for a build.

[Leny Mason]

Hi Brent, on a 352 is the RPM regulated buy the bearing circumference it would be fun to make a high rever . Leny Mason

[blykins]

The bearing diameter does come into play.  I will not be using an FE rod on this one.  I will prob aim for 7500-8000 rpm with one of my hydraulic rollers.

[blykins]

Well, the first iterations of project Junky Junk are complete. 

I'm very reluctant to jam new parts into this filthy engine, so I'm gonna take a little break and map out the plan for next year.

[blykins]

How about a vote?

1.  Go through the C6AE-R heads, good valve job, good valves, correct springs, etc. 

2.  Go straight to TFS heads.

All-in-all, the engine is going to make the most peak hp with TFS heads, but I don't necessarily need to do a max effort 352, like Blair is.  Originally, I thought I'd be headed the TFS way, but I almost think the C6 heads would be as fun to play with.  I don't think I'd even port them, just put good parts on with a good VJ.

I have a really cherry Streetmaster intake to go on it. 

[Heo]

I vote for a good valvejob on the ironheads first

[ToddK]

I vote iron heads first. Good to see just what factory parts are capable of with a basic hop up.

[Bolted to Floor]

I vote for the iron heads.

[RustyCrankshaft]

In keeping with the, every kids first hopped engine theme, iron heads. Basic rebuild with good parts.

Although I'd love to build an aluminum headed stroker for everything, stock iron for a lot of projects/people is still something that is relatable to a lot of people's builds.

And it's just fun to see how this Crusty the 352 project goes.
