Thanks for the reply. Do you know the number of the comp cam 270 that your running. I had the block bored .040 with aluminum pistons. New mains and rod bearings on a polished crank. I'm also running 350 valve springs. I ported and polished the Vortec heads even though they were real close compared to stock heads. I was building a V8 for my Luv and had bought all the parts like pistons, rings bearings, timing gears and all the valve components. I've used 6 of everything and also have 2 spares. Couldn't use the rod bearings, too small. When I had the V8 block boiled and magna fluxed, found it was cracked so I decided to go V6. I'm running a 600 Edel. What size carb are you running?
I will have to hunt through my receipt folder and try to find the pn. There are only two 270* .500" lift cams on their site the difference is the year model of engine it goes on
I was running an Edelbrock 500cfm with mech secondary but I sold it and bought a Holley 450 vac secondary to try and get bearable mileage. Have to find the vac leak i have going on so I can tune it. Truck hasn't moved much in quite a while
I also gasket matched and ported my heads mostly just for the experience and some of the ports we're really lopsided and obstructed. Had to gasket match the intake which was disappointing and tedious without a proper aluminum bit on my tool
