Stock bottom end with a big solid lifter cam. Head cut about .175" (it was an accident, long story). Blueprinted compression was right at 10.5 so I knew I needed a lot of cam so it would run on pump gas. I called Ken Heard at Oregon Cam and we decided on with .465 lift, 250 degrees duration @ .050" ground on 108 lobe separation. I went low lift because I already had valve springs (Comp 942) and I needed to utilize those. The engine turned out much better than I would have imagined. It runs extremely well, even with that rowdy cam. I'm sure the manual transmission and 3.23 gears help, but even still, I think it would be peppy.
