So my #1 rod bearing decided to spin and it's rebuild time I guess. Gonna build up my 7 bolt motor. Yes, 7 bolt. Anyway, I know there's TONS of info out there but everyone has their own opinions about parts. Just wondering if anyone has any concrete info on why one part might be better than another when it comes to engine parts. Say for example with pistons such as Ross, Manley, Mahle, JE, Wiseco, etc. What makes one piston better than the other? Or camshafts for example. There's so many "272" cams out there. Wondering which one I should go with when choosing between say....Kelford, FP's, etc. It's suppose to be a 272 cam so why is one better than the other???
I'm gonna make this an aluminum rod motor with Butchered crank. The pistons I can't decide on though as well as the cams. Thanks for any feedback. I don't wanna waste my time or money on this motor.
