Help with 340 compression + cam change

mn9stheham, thanks for the advice and reminders, etc.

I pulled a head today, and the piston is down .045 from the deck, which with the gathered info punched into Wallace, gets me 8.62:1 with .023" gasket, so not as bad as I feared. Not sure what steel gaskets to use yet.

Honestly I'm still going back and forth between a solid and hydraulic, but have some good choices that I've zeroed in on (with good advice from several cam companies or engine builders.)

I talked with Mike at B3 for a while about his 1.6 rockers and geometry kit. Very nice guy, straight forward and was very helpful, and I can tell he knows what he's talking about. He was recommending using 1.6 with the Voodoo 702 cam.

I talked with Rocker Arms Unlimited about rebuilding (bushing and resurfacing) my 273 pieces, but the cost difference between that and some new roller rockers isn't all that great.

If I stayed with a (new) set of 1.5 rockers, what's the best source? Comp? Hughes? Or??

I'll post some photos when I get a bit further. Am going to weld me up a valve spring compressor tool tomorrow.
