I want to build a big block either for the next project or the 68 and need help. I want to know what kinda stuff if good in the larger aspects of the engine, as in heads, intake, pistons, rods, carbs, blah blah blah. Not really familiar with big blocks, so looking for you guys that have them. I am probably going to a 700r4 and am going to need a torque/stall converter too. I want to run somewhere between 600 and 750 horsepower on 92 octane with no nitrous. Also, do you guys recommend getting those Hotrod Bigblock books, or no?
