Did you do a 100% stock rebuild, or did you perhaps lower the compression ratio a little to compensate for today’s lower octane fuels ?
Lower compression 10 to 1, 068 cam, Autotec pistons from Ractec, Scat connecting rods, alot of the internals came from Butler. Block, crank and heads are stock. Yes I’m going for a stock appearance. The heads required some work to install push rod guide plates because it had bad rocker alignment, that seems to be a thing with these 389 heads.
