I can't remember how many valve reliefs they had but they were flat tops. I just talked to a guy in Raleigh that takes wrecked Vettes, parts them out and then rebuilds the engines. He is a former dirt track racer that used to build race engines to help pay for his hobby. He has a 91 engine that he is working on right now. It's out getting hot tanked. Then it is going to his machinist to get bored .30 over then he is going to get it back install hypereutic pistons and all the other goodies. I told him that my heads have been recently gone through and have the LT4 springs on them and that I have new lifters and so on. He said that if I bring him my heads / lifters and return my block to him when I get it out we would be in the $1000 area. He said that he checks all the bearing clearances / ring clearances and so on. I also mentioned that I wanted to do the LT4 hotcam and he said no problem. So he would also knock the price of the cam off the total. Now doing some reading maybe the LT4 cam isn't the way to go. |
