Ive been gettng a little more serious about doing my 400 sbc rebuild and started to reasearch a little bit. This is my first ever engine build so i have a lot of homework to do. Anyways i figured i would start to get a list going of the kind of things i think i will need. I did a google search and found budget list someone put together so i figure ill start form there, I dont have a lot of funds right now but I think now is the time to start looking for deals on some of the stuff i need.
so this is what i have so far but i know i need to change alot of thing on here to get it where i want if so what do you guys this is this a good starting point?
Stock crank
SCAT 5.7 forged rods
SRP flat top pistons
Speed Pro moly rings
Weld Bond degreed balancer
B&M flexplate
Crane 302H06 cam
Cloyes true roller timing chain
Clevite bearings
Edelbrock 70cc Perf RPM heads - or 64cc?
Edelbrock Perf RPM intake
MSD HEI with rev limiter - or stick with my current distrib
Edelbrock 650 carb
Machining includes; Parallel deck, Torque plate hone, and internal balance with ring gear and balancer.
So that my starting point and i know this will change about 50 times befor i even start working on it due to suggestions from your guys and other items i might now need to replace also whatever i find a deal on might steer me in a diffrent direction. what do you guys think?
