Wow. First thank you that took a lot of time I'm sure.
I'm still not sure where I went wrong except for not being there when head work was done. I travel for a living and sometimes I'm gone for a while and that seems to be when things go sideways.
AJ I'm not married to the cam at the time that was one that suited my needs.
I really hate to pull this engine out as we drop them from the bottom and I always find something else to do while everything's apart. And I just don't have the time to do that right now. As I have two planes to finish by spring and an ill 1957 chevy truck that need attention. Wt that said I'm short on time.
A cam swap would be less time consuming and the vacuum is what I need so if that's doable I might entertain that.
Years ago I did a lot of work wt Ultradyne Cams Harold Brookshire but as happens he has past. So I have no one to work wt on a custom grind.
I may just build another short block over the summer but was planning on the next build being a stroker but this car doesn't need that type of engine.
So wt all that said the head change makes the most sense. Unless I can come up wt a cam that might work.
But I tell ya wt this combo right now it's a neck snapper when fuel , temp ,and ignition is working right.
One last thought it doesn't act like a high compression engine It starts easily , doesn't overheat ever , idles great But at 10to 1 It's really not that much
