- 1973 Convertible, Q code, 4 speed, 3.25, A/C, P/S
73 Vert, 351C 4V, 4 Speed, FPA headers, 2.5" dual exhaust, 3.25 rear.
So I finally bit the bullet and ordered Eddy heads (non-roller), cam and timing chain/gear set. I ordered an ARP bolt kit and heads, intake, headers gasket set. I also ordered a timing chain gasket and water pump gasket. The kit is supposedly good for 465HP/445TQ. I'm matching it with a pre-existing Eddy Performer intake (they recommend Performer RPM, but I have the performer) and Eddy 650 carb. Thinking carb might be too small, we'll see.
I have subframe connectors to weld in first, so the install is probably a month (or more) away. But the parts should be here soon. I thought I'd start this thread to solicit any tips. My plan was to install the heads/cam in the car. I assume radiator and grille need to come out.
I have a Pertonix disty. Any issues with that gear syncing to the Eddy cam?
I'm a pretty hardcore DIYer, but I've never replaced heads/cam. If you have any tips from your own experience, I'd love to read them!
