[69Farburd]

It has developed a bearing knock, so at the least I am going to have to drop the pan. I'm debating on whether I should go ahead and pull the motor and do some other improvements. I have been pretty happy with it the way it is. I do have to put 2 1/2 gallons of 108 racing fuel in with a tank of 93, but I don't drive it that much so it's not a major issue. It is a 68 428 with the big valve #16 heads in a 69 Firebird convertible with 66 tripower, 200-4r trans and 3:55 gears. The engine is bored .30 over, has Erson cam TQ30H with 310/310 adv dur, 226/226 lobe lift, .493/.493 valve lift, and lobe sep 11 +4 with dual valve springs, stock pistons, push rods and rockers, long branch manifolds with 2 1/2 inch exhaust. It has AC and power brakes, so I need to keep some vacuum. What would you suggest? Zero decking? Different cam? Dished pistons? I would appreciate all ideas.
