Slanted Goals

I contacted Oregon cams, gave them the specs on my 225 and they recommended 2 grinds. I picked the milder as my 64 is a driver. I just could not see putting all that work into this thing and staying with the stock grind with it's 375 lift. With shipping I think it cost me around 100 bucks to get a regrind.

A 225 will never be a high revver so I want good driveability. Pocket ported, gasket matched, .080 off the head and .040 over. I hogged out the stock exhaust and intake manifolds in the appropriate places a little and still running the Carter BBC for now. I only wish I had a chance to drive it before the rebuild for a comparison but it was locked up when I got it. Engine still looks stock on the outside but I'm happy with it. I'm not burnout guy but it'll easily smoke the tire.
