Well Cliff I changed a few things since my last post. I decided to get a set of .040 over 454 flat top pistons and use a 454 crankshaft we had laying around that had just been ground 20/20. Use everything else that I mentioned in my earlier post. The camshaft selection that I am going to use is a hydraulic roller from Comp Cam. Valve lift intake .511, exhaust .521, duration at 50 off, intake 230, exhaust 236, lobe separation of 112. Just finished putting it together, have a few small pieces yet to pick up and then I hope to be able to set up some time to get it on an engine dyno to do the engine break in and do the tune up on the engine. billy 2
