I've getting ready to start my build up of a Hemi for street use. My intended use would be a hot street cruiser with best possible street manners within the street configuration. I can easily use manual brakes but will likely be using power steering and a/c due to hot south texas weather, I'm leaning towards running a 727 and rear gear is to be decided. I've got a 426 M block stock bore, stock crank, bare 2780559M heads. Missing a few rods and pistons so if stroking is best I'm gonna need to order parts any way.
So it seems I've got a blank canvas to work on so now is the time to decide. I'd like to be within the 1500-6500 rpm range, want a distinctive idle, will be sticking to the dual carb setup. Is a stroker the solution? I've been told that the stock heads flow well enough for a stout street hemi. I am looking for combination recommendations, i.e. displacement, compression ratio, cam selection, intake and carburetor as well as exhaust.
My first Hemi build so I need to look for the wisdom of this forum. Thanks! Oh and yeah I am likely to take it to the track every once in a while.
