seems like a couple of guys were being kind of childish about things.

It's the go bigger thing getting in the way.

Will Be:318 stock bottom end, balanced with .040 over KB 167 pistons w/1.81 compression height (pistons zero decked)
Comp Cams 280H cam 230 dur @ .050 480 lift w/1.5 rockers and .512 w/ 1.6 rockers
Magnum heads gasket matched, bowl blended and valve job.
Chinese Air Gap version intake manifold w/ 650 DP Holley carb

Drivetrain is A904 built be me 10 years ago with shift Kit and 2800 stall Also has a 8.75 SG rear with 4.11 gears.

I will be running it in Hockenheim this year in August on a prepared track and I am very anxious to see how it will run.

That extra compresion will help bring that cam into play and awake the engine up well. Post up how you did when you get it done.

Heres the specs of the motor I'm going to build;
318+.030
Stock crank and rods
xe274h cam
"675" 318 heads, with 1.88's and 1.6's fitted
Edelbrock LD4B manifold
600vs Holley
I'm tempted to zero deck the block, which should bring the CR up to 10:1.
Not sure on stall speed for the converter yet.

Vb, this build of yours is coming along very nice. IMO, I'd go for as much compresion as pump gas will allow. The cam is big enuff to use a good ratio.
