428 Build Comments
We're using a standard bore, standard journal size, 4 bolt 428 block for a '68 Firebird with overdrive automatic, 4.11 gears, FI, Edlebrock 87 cc D-port heads. Will use stock crank, Eagle rods, Diamond pistons for 9.6:1 compression.
When talking to the builder about cams, he suggested Comp Cams Extreme Energy Series with their SOLID LIFTERS. They offer a lifter with a .012" hole in the bottom cam surface, for improved lube to the cam. He does not like any of the retro hydraulic roller setups. I was concerned about valvetrain noise with a solid cam, but he says these run with minimum lash so you'd never know it was not a hydraulic cam. What have you heard?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
