Hey guys
My name is Gatlan.
Building a sbc for use in my offroad race truck to be raced in SNORE starting next year.
Aquired the motor that was built by a friend of a friend. Long story short went to fire it last night and no oil pressure from priming. Didnt trust it and took it apart to inspect. Oil pump driveshaft was "missing"!!! Decided to do a full rebuild.
here is what I have found about it so far.
4 bolt main
second gen block (pass side low mount dipstick)
z8222 pistons
crank casting # = 14088528
rod casting # = has gm stamped on rod (stock????)
Pro comp 64cc 190 alum heads (I know not the best but I am going to use them for budget help) the ports have been cleaned up and should work for my intentions
1.6 roller rockers
2.02 in 1.6ex valves
Its not a drag car, its a 4500 lb offroad race truck. Engine needs to be reliable and have good power from 2k up to 6800 or so. Transmission will be a th400 (unsure on converter as I have not purchased one). Tranny will be full manual.
Need help decided on a cam and if I should put different pistons in it.
current pistions are z8222 (casting number) with a dish top and 4 valve reliefs. Any idea if these will make any decent compression numbers? I was told the block was bored 30 over when these pistons were installed. Bottom end will be getting all new bearings (including cam bearings) upon reassembly and a new oil pump and driveshaft. I have a crane cam PN=113901cr but idk if its any good for my application
