360 magnum budget build

DartFred said
I just calculated CR with the KB107 and that would bring me up to 10.75 with a 62cc head. A bit too much for the street with pump gas. Is there any other cheap piston option that gives 0.040 quench and around 9.5CR?

Yea, the stock piston with a minor head milling.

If I want to change the stock truck cam, guess I'll have to change springs and retainers on the stock heads and they are definitely not cheap. Big investment for a head that might crack and with old valves...

If you think a cam change and valve springs are pricey, you need a better job. This is entry level prices.

Indy has the magnum RHS heads for sale at 975$ (their ad says 10% off all heads, but I don't know if it's already included in their price) I'll have to give them a call. 2.02 intake valves is a 100$ upgrade, probably worth it. Anybody has experience with them? Otherwise I'll go with Hugues 2.02 iron rams.

Contact member OU812. He is a MoPar machinist that does nice work on INDY heads at a good price. Unlike going to INDY themselves and getting screwed by crap work and no money back with a **** customer service which blames you for everything wrong with there head and sticks it to you without care.

But then again, your bitchin about the price of a cam change, this ought to quell every dream you have about cars.

I sent a cam recommendation form to comp, we'll see what they come up with. I asked for good fuel economy at 2000rpm at 75 mph.

That'll be a pretty mello cam.
