???????????

Okay here's were I need help I have no clue what I can really do for my 7 bolt block. I was just going to put in ross/eagle combo, but rather hear members out first. I do not want to switch over to a 6 bolt for one. So If you have any advice or opinions. I'm here to listen. Thank you

Everything looks good. As for the block, Ross/Eagle with ARP rod and head studs. You also could do a MLS headgasket and some Clevite/ACL bearings. While you're at it, do all your maintance. Timing, water pump etc...

i completely agree wity red97eclipseboy, but if you are sticking with the fwd/ auto trans then i would spend like another 500-1000 on a billet torque convertor, this is where you loose most of your power, and see if you can find a strong valve body. if u plan on doing the trans work yourself, i would highly recomend completely researching this job before you jump right into it.

Alright thank you for some advice. My goal is just 400-450 whp, as a street/strip car.

FYI - auto trans. dont use throw out bearings

 

[J-Syght]

Which size of Clevite/ACL bearings would I need, and also which ones just the Rod bearings, or Main bearing? thanks

If you aren't getting any machine work done then stock bearing size will work. I would get both rod and main bearings if you are tearing the whole motor apart. Get it bored a little over as well to ensure you got the cylinder walls nice and straight. Rehone at the least.
