Budget SBC buildup.

if its a roller cam then go LT4 hotcam with vortecs. i think you dont need machine work done if you keep lift under .510. just get new 1.25inch springs and run 1.5 rockers. i think that will work as the lift will be .492"

taht cam can be bought like new for 100-130 bucks. will make over 400hp on those heads with 10 to 1 compression

if you want good cheap heads check out the new Patriot heads… they flow like a champ and are fullly setup for .550-600 lift or so, dont remember exactly but they are just under 800 complete. i dont think you’ll find a better deal than that unless you buy used heads from someone

you can avoid machine work by using the CC beehive springs and retainers. they will be good upto .525. but for the price of the springs, retainers, and locks, your at about the same as the machine work. and then run the 1.6 roller rockers.
