HELLO I AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING A 557 STROKER BUILT BY A LOCAL SHOP AND I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS . I PLAN ON USING 1971 429 BLOCK EAGLE 557 ROTATING ASSEMBLY SCJ HEADS M6049-A A STEALTH CJ INTAKE AND A HYD ROLLER CAM . THE CAR IS VERY HEAVY AROUND 5000LBS AND WILL BE GEARED AROUND 3.23 TO 3.50 CARB AND CAM SPECS I HAVE NO IDEA ANY HELP AND OPINIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED JUST SO I WILL KNOW IF IM HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION THANKS.

Comp 34-602-9 if you like a nasty idle or 34-443-9 the first will make mor power. Do a simple bowl and gain a bunch of power.

In my opinion, I would not use a 429 block because of the shorter cylinders. I would use a later 460 block.
