393 stroker

I have a 67 convert,351w crane hyd roller 212 220 520 546 cam T/wedge heads,13/4 "dougs" tri -y 3/4 length headers,9.1:1 comp, holley projection di. I am in the process of installing a lentech aod with 10" tight converter about 2600-2800 stall and a versailles 9"rear with 3:50 gears also a 125hp nos kit. I am going to do a 393 stroker also, I would like to keep everything the same except the stroker kit and some mild head porting. Should I go up a step or two in cam? I was thinking the xtreme energy 274 or should I keep my cam and go for smooth idle, and torque monster with NOS as backup? I really like that idea....yet a bigger cam sounds good too since I have the new trans/converter. My present combo with 3:00 peg leg gears has got me a best of 13.45 at 104mph on motor alone. are the 11's possible with the 393,trans/converter,gears and NOS? I think its possible, do you? I have found over the years in cams, less is more on the street but now I'm feeling that maybe a little more wont hurt......give me your input!

I'm currently running a comp cams 268H its actually a 242/244 at 50 with a 540/542 lift, if running hellish compression 12.7, before the point loss for aluminum heads, puts me at 11.7:1. I make more torque then most diesel trucks. 600 ft #. 471 to rwtq and 390 rwh. It runs low 11"s and has flat out burn-up several c-4's.3500rpm stall convertor.I run a single carb on top of a set of 185CC AFR heads. I run 373 gears and 26X10.5 tires. Just wasted a mini spool and rebuilt the old limited slip up and went back racin again.
Most don't even know about the 393, I love mine and it has been running for 4 years without a hitch. I run the **** out it and it keeps running hard..

Can I get a parts list on your motor fstpny? It sounds like you have THEE mOTOR! I'm going 393 and need a direction.. Thanks in advance for any help.

Sure,

I used the AFR 185 heads, with 65cc non-smog, with the long valves can handle up to .700 cam, 7/16 studs.

Scat Crank, Eagle H beam rods, KB 302+30 total seal rings,high pressure pump and a late model roller chain for a 5.0 HO. My combo is run straight up thats where it made the best power, I do have a idexable crank gear fms. I'm running stock length 351W rods. .0035 clearance on rods and mains my oil pressure runs around 70 psi. I run a 750 HP Holly with an Air Gap Victor junior ported to flow 325 per hole. 1 3/4" hook headers through a x pipe and dumped out the sides of the car sounds bad assed.. Regular ignition msd billet, and 7 digital with 2 degree retard on top end pull, for a totals of 30 degrees. I run synthetic valvoline oil. I run pump gas.

Imagine how much more torque you may have made with a "roller" block!!!

What's wrong with affordable upgrades? Everyone has so many ideas for you, when they're working with someone else's pocketbook!!! geesh! somepeople! There are some solid motors out there that'll pucker your...

L8R,
