Valve spring limitations vs Cam selection

The front end of my build is another unknown at this point due to the fact that I am running AC and for serp I would need a 1 year only 91 5.9 Dakota AC/ALT bracket with the LA style intake I am using. I will most likely stay with LA front because I already have it but I do like the idea of the serpentine set-up.

I like the idea of the KB362's and a mid 9 CR with some quench and minimal rod work. Again.....My machinist has a good rep with piston mfg's and is digging into options as well. Unfortunately there aren't that many for Magnum 360. As far as removing piston and rod mass and messing with external balancing....I have no clue as to how you would know when you are back IN balance and feel that is better left to professionals and that is not me for sure.

Also. I am aware of the lifter preload change and I will be using a checking pushrod to measure and order a new set.
