Complete parts walk through of our 387 stroker build (rebuild)

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

Looks like you're going to end up with a fun runner.😎👍

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

It was definitely a fun combination. We can't wait to get it going again!

[@Reztek302]

I’m doing a very similar build. I’m sticking with 351w internals. I splurged on renegade 185’s 58cc with upgrade on springs and rocker studs. Also bought new tko 600 long before tkx was released. Been 5 years collecting all the parts. I measured 7.6685 on pushrods. I’m using same rocker arms as yours. Also summit 8902 cam hoping the factory dish pistons help with valve clearance. Any advice on oil pump. I have a high volume because originally planned on going with junk yard shortblock. But have read that it may be too much and floods heads and valve seals. At this point I’m really watching my costs. Don’t have the $$ I had a few years ago.

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

We have run Melling standard volume standard pressure on all our builds and haven't had any issues with oil pressure. However, I definitely recommend upgrading your oil pump drive shaft.

@@QuarterHorseCustoms thanks

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

Let us know how the build goes

[@trtony-xe4cl]

Thanx for this info,im doing a 70s-- 351w,about the same as your's, putting it in a 76 bronco,35 inch tires,but cant decide on my cam,i want to go roller,& looking for best torque profile, no racing but great bottom end estreet heads 2.02 valves ,any suggestions,??? Thanx

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

Are you going retro-fit roller with a factory spider or link bar?

[@trtony-xe4cl]

@QuarterHorseCustoms yes retrofit roller,but not sure yet which is best link bar or spider,????

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

If I were to do it, I'd get a small base circle cam and drill and tap for the factory spider and factory roller lifters.

[@trtony-xe4cl]

Thank you

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

My pleasure!

[@willwork2fish261]

Do you have to do the clearance in the cylinder walls, for this build? I might just go 351w lol

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

Yes the bottom of the Cylinder walls will need a little grinding to clear the rod Bolts.

[@KrisGreenhill]

I am eye balling the Summit 303 Plus for my budget 302 for my car. How does it handle on the street? I could only find a couple of idle clips online, but it sounds mean.

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

I absolutely love it, only issue I have on the street is that my compression ratio is high so I'm running 110 race fuel so it's expensive, other than that there is absolutely no complaints about the cam!

[@KrisGreenhill]

@@QuarterHorseCustoms thank you for the feedback. For the price, it looks like a real winner. I was also looking at the Trick Flow 2 or 3, but I'm extremely cheap, and the Summit looks like an even better deal.

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

I apologize for the late reply, I was also looking at those, I did the compare and for the price I couldn't argue with the summit brand.

[@robertbruneau112]

with that intake closing early (39-44) deg your dynamic compression is high, you will need to run at least a mix of 93 and 110

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

We're running 110-112 race gas. We're getting ready to do an E85 swap tho

[@jessekampegaard8491]

running a little bigger cam might have helped some

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

Definitely plan to upgrade more in the future! Needed to get a baseline to reference from.

[@jerryburks2755]

i built a 398w or that's what it came out to be makes good power and torque

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

Heck yeah, we are about to start a 393 for Project Apocalypse for Hot Rod Drag Week

[@jerryburks2755]

@@QuarterHorseCustoms my engine is in a rare car a 71 Torino

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

I'd love to find a unique car to build! Maybe the next one, we just gotta get this one ready for Hot Rod Drag Week!

[@tonymontana4349]

Nice build what’s the actual compression ratio ? Is it 12.1

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

According to Summit Racing compression calculator it's about 11.91:1 it definitely does not like 93 octane above 2k rpm!

[@tonymontana4349]

So basically it’s a track car not a street car ? I have the same build and timing is at 34 degree total on pump after driving it around timing had to come down to 30 29 and still I can hear the heat somewhat detonating somewhat

[@tonymontana4349]

What timing do u run or try to run

[@QuarterHorseCustoms]

15 initial 32 total

[@tonymontana4349]

Gotcha nice build but to me on a street car wouldn’t it be better to run a 72 cc head to lower the compression and benefit from the build
