thank you
so i take it that i will need these and those rods and spring where can i pick these up? Not sure if they are all the same or if they were engine specific. A bracket from a 390FE may or may not fit a 289/302/351W. I'd look for one from/for a small block myself. |
boys this is giving me a little trouble
race beat springs are rated at 145 lb per inch front and 110 lb per inch 351w with cast heads and intake is 498 lbs. aluminum intake is 11 lbs and when the aluminum heads are installed claimed to be a 70 to 90 lbs weight saving so maybe end with 420lb ish. are those springs going to be ok? |
Aluminum heads will save you around 50 pounds total.
|
I would go heavier in the front, around 300 or so
|
were can i go for heaver rate springs for a sa22c?

thanks andrew
i have a set of theses from back in the civic days i had no idea these could be used , they fit 2.5 id springs. also i found pac racing springs made to order in any color and rate i have ordered 2 in red and 500 lbs for the front and 2 in red and 300 lbs for the rear. http://http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/p...ideHeight1.jpg |
You got lucky those sleeves look nice, you will also need tophats like these and maybe the weld on perches https://technotoytuning.com/universa...gs-22mm-center
You need to get 4.5" of 5" ID springs for the rear though if you are using the stock spring perches |

guys last couple weeks i have been busy with the project
a local engine shop tells me they can redo the stock heads for 300 and yield vast better flow. also i have been looking at any exhaust advise i can get . people are telling me a x pipe is the single best there is but i do not think there is enough room for duals. will a y connection and a single pipe back be ok? |
should be fine, you can also run parallel duals, I think I am going with that setup on my car. Definitely cannot fit an H or X pipe
|
These guys run a Y into a single setup on a 357 SBC and run 5.70's in the 1/8th, which is deep in the 9's in the 1/4. You should be fine.
