Hey all, as most on here might know, I don't know much about engines. But recently have been having some work done. I started by ordering the LB manifolds from RARE, which I had been wanting to put on my car for some time, and also ended up ordering the X exhaust system with spintech mufflers for my convertible threw them also. After talking to my mechanic, he told me I should change the heads and maybe the cam also.
After reading on here I asked him what the changes to the heads and cam was, since he usually just does not tell me things, probably cause he knows I would not understand
He told me the changes to the heads should give me around a 9:1 compression ratio? if I am repeating him right. And that he installed a 280 Cam. He also replaces the pushrods, that he showed me and they were not in good shape, and mentioned the lifters I believe, but I can not remember if he replaced them also.
He told me he may have to change the Torque converter, but he would not know until he started the engine and rove it some?
I am really just posting hoping to learn What changes were made, and if everything sounds right to everyone on here? Also how this all should change my drive? obviously it will, but really I have no real idea how much.
Right now my engine is just sitting there outside the car, with the heads and cam replaced, and just waiting for the LB manifolds from RARE to get to me (they are very slow about shipping them it seems) and my mechanic figured it may be best to put them on the engine before putting the engine back in the car.
