Armond, II, Thanks for reminding to dust off Leo's book. Leo's says after 10.5 use studs. I think I like Twisteds' 351 head bolts. Though I don't think I'll need to cut one down. I have a little more stroke. \:D

G10-250, One of the web sites mentions having to modify the circuits. I'll handle the problems as they come up. I've got enough spare parts and tools to handle most of it. I intend to go through a series of carbs. There have been a lot of unanswered questions concerning mileage.

Twisted6, Thanks for the head bolt suggestion. I don't think I'll use the 194 head. The more I think about it I'll go with a flat top piston and since you mention head thickness maybe a dome, I need to run the numbers. The 194 would back me into a corner. I'd rather change the head and compression. The pistons will delay things a bit. Which is not all bad rereading Leos' book I realize I've jumped the gun a bit.
