Using the custom (forged) pistons (+.060) will give the compression/CID you want/need with a 'mild' Hyd. lifter cam (ballanced assembly) & your stainless gasked should be enough (easy 200Hp.) You could add the 'lump ports' too. :rolleyes:

A "pleasure craft" is not fun with a blown engine, under tow. ;\)

All this 'fancy stuff' is great for the Drag Strip crowd, as their main goal is to 'shave' another half second from the ET. \:D

NOT needed here.

Good luck. \:\)
