Ok guys thank you for the input. I have been crunching numbers ($) and I think I have a engine to build. I have decided to go with a non-roller hyd cam, see what you think. Would be great if someone could run this on desktop dyno for me, I think I have all the info. Exhaust consists of 1 3/4" primary 3/4th length headers to 2.500" duals through 2 chamber flowmasters.

Firestone, I meant a main stud girdle, but do you either is really necessary, I am pretty conservative (i.e. afraid of breaking things) behind the wheel so I really hope the stock rods/crank are ok. I scored a great deal on a fresh short block, all I planned to do is float the piston pins and turn a set of wrist pin buttons & put all my $ into heads & valve train (& ARPhardware). I have access to machine shop to build my own main girdle, that is the only reason I asked about it.

Here it goes.
