[QUOTE=Verdoro 68;6315530]Shops are so busy around here I'm on my own for assembly. I'm waiting to hear how cylinder sizes end up before ordering a kit. With the current delays, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm 6 months out or more before I get this thing back together.
232/241 seems ok to me, but I'm still learning about cam selection. I may also be a little conservative since I've got power brakes, R/A manifolds, A/C and an automatic to contend with.[/QUOTE
I have a '70 TA with RA IV heads. The displacement is 433. It has that 4 inch stroke you refer to. It uses a Butler HR custom grind cam (230/236, 112LSA and 1.65 roller rocker arms). It has power brakes, no a/c and is a manual with 3.73's out back.. The brakes stop on a dime. Still has the factory brakes front & rear. The engine was dyno'd with 447HP @5,000 RPM and 535 TQ @ 3,500 RPM uncorrected. I think corrected numbers are 460 HP and 545TQ. This is thru oversized RA manifolds and 2.5 inch mandrel bent exhaust. It sounds like a race car. I absolutely love that sound.
Something to think about with your engine. I know the exhaust side of the heads are different from the RA II head. That might be the difference in using the 230/236 cam I use in the 433. I actually considered using it before I found out about the retrofit Butler cam I have now for the RA II engine. Of course, that was before I knew the stroker kit was for a 461 instead of the 427 I thought it was.
