New Tiger engine

[Kiwi Mal]

Hi Guys. I am building a new engine for my Sunbeam Tiger. I have just purchaced a 5.0 windsor short block.



- Roller block
- Balanced internals (50oz)
- Speed Pro coated pistons
- Main girdle
- ARP main cap bolts
- ARP rod bolts
- Balancer

This block was out of a Panoz race car. It is in good condition. He took the mains caps off, and a big end, and the bearings looked like new.
I am going to use GT40P heads which need new exhaust seats, so while I have this done I have the options of better valves etc.
The roller cam I got with the block has GT stamped on it. I am having trouble finding info on it, so I need to know the spec's. If anyone know's them or where to find them, it would be appreciated.

I want to build a good strong street engine with good manners. Max power at approx 5500rpm.
Any input welcome
Thanks Mal.

Compare the money you'll spend on new valves and labor on those heads to a nice pair of assembled aluminum ones. Best bang for your buck there.
