sounds about right cost wise , the problems I see are the 6 pack flat top piston with closed chamber 915 heads will be too high compression for pump gas , The cam would not be my first choice either unless you want a 2500 -7000 rpm engine

Sounds like a good deal, depending on the shape of all of the stuff -  inspect for rust etc from sitting around 

If you buy it: sell the Heads, Cam and Lifters on eBay and buy:
Edelbrock heads (or your choice of alum aftermarket) and what ever cam Ron (firefighter3931) or Neil (Chryco Psycho) recommends for you    That way the 10.5 comp ratio can be tamed for the street...

I'm no expert on this specific topic but 1/4" sounds very tight to me. Just waiting for the fan to eat the rad. If you are running a shroud I would think you could back it off to about up to an inch and still "pull" hot through the rad.

I think you posted in the wrong topic Don...

You can reduce the compression by going with .080 or thicker copper gasket.  They are twice to three times the cost of a composite gasket but you will be able to reuse them up to five times if you clean of the carbon deposit (according to the discription at Summit).  I picked up a set of .093 4.380 copper gasket for my setup and it will help me reduce compression from 11.81 to 10.55+.  I can reduce the compression more by milling the pistion another .015.  Be sure to read the fine print on the copper gaskets, some require an o-ring which will add another fifty dollars to your build by having the machine shop machine a ring around each cylinder and install a cut to length wire ring.  The o-ring will keep the copper gasket in place under extreme pressures and high compression. 

That setup sounds nice except for the cam and heads like others have stated.  You can always find a set of 906s to tame the compression monster.  That will drop the hp down to the 425 to 450 range.

Anyway it sounds good for the price.

Sounds like Don pulled an "allnighter" and stopped by the site before crashing!

I thought it was all a dream 


Anyways...just so I can add some value to this thread....go with Eddy heads and 528 solid lift cam with 1.6:1 inductile rockers. (my imitation of Ron....almost sounds like I know what I'm talking about  )
