I have a few questions regarding the '84 CrossFire Engine:
I will be removing the 350ci CrossFire from my 1984 later next week and going to go through a TOTAL Rebuild...
Question 1: Is the 350ci Block a good foundation to begin with???
Engine will be Balanced and Blueprinted and we will also be replacing ALL Studs/Bolts with ARP...
If pistons are worn, we will be replacing with SpeedPro...
We are planning on going with a good Roller Cam and probably updating the Ignition with MSD Components...
Question 2: Are the Heads good enough to be worth Modifying???
We are planning on using the Factory Heads and doing the Porting & Polishing plus adding Roller Rockers with ARP Studs as well...
On this 1984, we will be eliminating ALL Computer Components...
We will be using an Edelbrock C-26 Dual Quad Intake Manifold mounting (2) Edelbrock 500cfm Carburetors...
We are going to be rebuilding the entire 1984 Corvette from the ground-up with this Engine, a Richmond 6-Speed R.O.D. Transmission, Recaro Electric Seats, and hopefully adding a Custom Dash Panel using AutoMeter Carbon Fiber Gauges...
We may have an issue with Clearances for the Dual Carbs. The Intake is a Low Profile, but if we will have clearance problems,
Question 3: Is there a Corvette Hood Scoop like the ZR-1 or similar that we will be able to use with the '84 Hood???
I have done quite a bit of reading here and also as one had mentioned, the CrossFire Vault...
Thanks for any response on these issues and I do appreciate all the help and advice from the Members here at CAC...
