Hate to even bring this up...
More potential budget busting. Brian at IMM suggested some time ago that I change the pistons to something zero deck with valve reliefs. He's OK with me running the stockers if I check valve clearance and do not advance the cam.

For now I plan to stay with the junkyard engine concept and do just that. I can always rebuild the bottom end down the road.

I also have to decide on what rocker arms to run with the RHS heads. I thought of spending the dough on the Hughes shaft system and have a bullet proof top end. But I just noticed they are 1.65 ratio, not 1.6. Not sure what to make of that.

Edit: just went back through communication with Brian. His suggestions were Hughs rockers (the non shaft ones I think - still $335!) or PRW ($121). I think if he's OK with PRW I'll trust his experience and save about $375 (the shaft rockers are $500).
