I'm building an ahu for my 1980 early westy caddy, I've got the lower end built and I'm getting ready to build the head. I have new valves, guides, lifters, seals, etc, I think I plan to mildly port and polish, and all. I'm not going for power (though it's fine if it has more) since it will have much more than the OEM 48hp the truck had before.
My goal is for fuel economy and longevity.
The block is rebuilt with stock internals and I have ARP studs for the head, I have a couple of different turbos i have on hand that I'm considering, they're all a bit bigger than stock. I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head though.
Anyway, I'm going to want a new cam, and I'm weighing my options. I've heard some people say that the Colt cams really don't do much in the lower rpm range, which is probably where I'll try to stick. I've also seen people talking about using the stock 1.6 idi cam on the ahu, and saying it's a bit better lift than the stock one? Anybody had experience with any aftermarket ones, or should I stick to stock?
Also on injectors... I'll be having them rebuilt, what's going to be the best tip size?
I'll be tuning, probably with Malone, since that's what the local guy does, I'll be deleting EGR, and MAF, as well as probably turning it up a little bit.
