Small block combo suggestions

Hmmm. That does not compute out with the info given for the build. (Assuming an XE-260 cam...) Is this a Magnum block? Or were the heads shaved a fair amount? Or is the cam advanced by a whole tooth?

I am coming up in the range of 155 psi. You would need an SCR of about 10.5:1 for that 182 psi pressure with a 260 range cam. Do you have access to another gauge?

BTW, the cam number given looks to be for a Chevy small block. Can you re-confirm that cam part number?

Cam from card XE262H-10.
Checked wt two gauges because that number 182 was higher than I remembered
I was present during the block machining but not for the heads I had asked and was told they needed hardly any metal removed to confirm true.
But we are assuming they were stock uncut prior as I acquired them some 20 plus years ago and had them on my previous build.
The block is an old 360 truck block
