Give me a parts list. WWCD? **Update on page 2**

I saw that you suggested 9,5:1 CR Ron. Is´nt that VERY conservative?? Would´nt he be able to run at least 10:1 on pump gas, even with cast iron heads??
Just wondering, since that would live it up a little, and he is getting new pistons anyway.

Inmo, a 9.5:1 static compression ratio is safe for iron heads on a street build. You might be able to get away with a litlle more or you might not...why take the chance. The difference a 1/2 point compression would make is not noticable with that mild a build. 

Now with closed chamber aluminum heads, flattop pistons at zero deck and .040 quench you can safely bump it up another point. 

The Engle cam profiles do an excellent job at building cylinder pressure which equates to strong throttle response and torque. Once properly tuned and dialed in this will be a nice cruiser with lots of low end grunt and strong midrange power.
