Info for building my first engine

[Danwvw]

I think you got it just choose heads then the cam you want! John at Aircooled net has tech articles about engine combos on his web-site. Give a few of those a read then decide on parts. I was just trying to give you some low cost build Ideas here then save some money for carburetors.
I bought one of those 4340 alloy supper race cranks CBperformance sells for like $289, The shop did a dynamic balance and both the crank and rods the CB H beam rods were perfectly balanced. Yeah, gentle cam for dependability! Webcams (Good things start to happen at about 250' advance @ .050" lift). You don't need more than .4" lift with the big valve heads. Special lightweight lifters: 1538 30mm Lightweight Racing Lifters (set of Eight) would let you keep valve spring pressure low enough to run stock push rods.

Thanks for the info, I had read his 1800 article, I'll give the rest a look too! This is starting to make a lot more sense now!

If you want a great engine that will be very dependable and last 80,000 miles or more I'd build a 2110. No matter what any body tells you 90.5mm pistons run cooler and last longer then 94mm pistons. After 40 years the 2110 is still my choice for a street engine. I won't waste my time with the 74-76 strokes, they are more of a pain in the ass to build then a 82 stroke.
