@Garrett Ellison while I like your thinking with the above camshaft recommendations I still would like to know where this long block ended up compression wise. He says forged pistons, 040 over but really we have no idea. I just built a 9.5:1 (measured) pump gas BBC for my boat and I used a cam with 230/236 @050 on a 112 and I think it’s a little large. In a heavy car it would be a slouch. But I did it because the thing lives at 4-4500 rpm. I’d really like to know where this engine is as far as compression before making a cam recommendation. Hell he could be alright if he just moves the current cam around a few degrees.
