Default Car details for motor combo.....

The car is a 1964 Chevy II - its weighs no more than 3000 lbs, 8 pt cage, Competition engineering back-half frame, full tubs w/ 32x14x15 MTs, stock front-end, all aluminum interior panels/ gutted - so fairly light

The car was strickly drag and WAS set-up for the 1/8. Now it is street legal and will be 90% street / 10% track - Weekend cruiser type of thing.

Currently the drive line is the stock 454 (2 bolt main) from 1978, a TH400 trans, 2800 stall, and I plan to install 3.73's in the 12 bolt spooled Moser Engineering rear-end.

I would like to have the power to back up the car's looks at least. I lost quite a bit of money paying one builder for a 540 that did not come through so now on a budget trying to make decent power with what I have.

Any suggestions on a head, intake, cam combo? Also what are the opinions of SCAT cranks & rods? Also it an internal balance necessary or it external still okay. Can't imagine spinning extreme RPMs.
