I forget to add I did have the block zero decked and used eagle rods,probe pistons , and Harland sharp 1.5 roller rockers . If you can work a roller cam into the budget I really feel it's worth it . It'll seem real cheap if ya wipe a flat tappet cam ! Saw May neighbor do this on a sbc made my mind up right there. Tomahawk had some killer baby rollers out , check out the motor rocky rotella did in his book , that the motor for you !

Please read my post in your thread over @ YB.com. (saw that one first today)

But to recap for the members here,,,dont use the 8 valve relief 400 cid pistons!!!

Cant stress that enough.

Engine wont be 8.5:1 CR with those,more like 7.5:1 CR.

Thanks, would the 067 or 068 work better with this setup?

Honestly,I'm not a "factory cam" kinda guy myself.

Too many better cams out there these days.

Final cam choice is gonna depend somewhat on final CR of the engine,so any suggestions @ this point are going to be more general in nature than specific.

That choice also depends on the goals of the builder.

FWIW
