Look's good! I orderd my stuff today! I decided to go with a flattop too. The dish volume in the stock piston is -6.6CC's , and the pistons I orderd have a-4cc valve notch. Im going to machine a small 4-5cc dish in the piston, to retain the stock compression ratio. I dicided to go with scat 6.125'' H beam rods.

Just got word from the machine shop, deck height is 9.245 so the rods, cam bearings, and gaskets have all been ordered from Texas speed. Cam and other parts will be ordered in the next few days.

yep, I'm going to deck the block to get my piston far enough out of the hole. right now I'll be .005 down in the bore with the 6.125 rod.


Rockers will be stock for now, I might get some harlend sharps.
