AJ's Quest for the Funnest Street 360-4spd Combo;short version

Part 7, Parting shots
My next HC 360;
I will do as little decking and or machining on the block as possible; decking leads to milling, leads to china wall fitment.Things can and do go wrong, and then there is fitment issues. The point is the less the machining, the better. Instead of all that machining to get the pistons to fit, I will get pistons to fit my block. If that means custom, so be it. KB sells some pop-ups that can be cut down to whatever.They might be an option.
Next time, I'm going with iron heads to see what all the hullabaloo is with hi Dcrs.
And I think I might give that Spreadbore another shot.
The 3.09/direct 4th box, with the GV is staying, no matter what, unless a 5speeder shows up on my doorstep, with similar splits.With these new gears, I would be willing to go back a bit in cam-size.Ima thinking 225 to 228*. I would also be willing to try those dusty 3.23s in the back corner, again.I might try another 108LDA cam............ The Quest just never ends
