48s at 78 cc with Ram IV Valves. Not brave enough to eggshell up to 87cc.
My latest thought is to finish the shortblock, Top-end it, & break-in the cam on a super hobo stabilized engine Stand. Let it lay until Towncar engine is out and begging ready for the 455.
Meanwhile money gets committed to Dished slugs, or thick headgaskets. Possibly sell the Spare as a run-in flattop forged-crank shortblock. And look for a dished shortblock.
