You said you were planning another engine for the future. Put this engine together as is with the pistons you have and stick in a smaller cam. Save the bigger cam for the next engine and you can build the compression and quench to match.
That’s a valid idea. Thanks for the input. We’ll see. Right now I’m taking time out to read Vizard’s books before my next step on the engine. I’ve got plenty to do otherwise. Just finished buttoning up my four speed and I’ve got the heads to finish.
