Default Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details

Monday night i hired my engine builder and i decided to go with Roller rockers and lifters for better durabilty from the engine. I will also be using Flat top pistons to achieve a compression ratio of 10-1 or 10-5 as i want to run 94 premium gas from a gas station without always putting in an additive.
I will also install the Pretronix kit under the stock distributor cap.
The stock dimple rods will be used again and i all ready Sold the Used pistons a few weeks back.
I plan to drive my car a lot so this set up makes more sence for my tastes.
Car will still make a lot of ponies and look bone stock under the hood[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
For the Exhaust i will be using the stock 69' Chambered exhaust system that came on the car as i just love the sound these make.
