Kinda just wanted a stock rebuild with a little more compression. I had a local machine shop do the assembly this time.

360 .030 over
Speed Pro H116cp pistons .003” from the deck
Stock cast crank & rods recon’d with ARP bolts.
Pretty mild cam:
.429” In .442” Ex
210* In 220* Dur @ .050”
LSA 108/116
(PN for that cam is 2899206)
Chrysler Dodge Mopar V8 Camshaft Stage 2 429/442 Cam MC1735

my plans then changed I was going to use stock heads but went with the SpeedMaster assembled heads. So my compression may be a touch high...based off of summit calculator: 10.48:1 with .039 Felpro 1008 head gasket

I’ll probably use stock rockers and pushrods if I can.

the only intake I have at the moment is a Performer RPM Air Gap so that’ll be it.

I’m open to further suggestions. I need to install an oil pump/pickup. Is a moly coated fuel pump eccentric “essential”?

The Summit compression calculator does not take into account the diameter of the head gasket unless you manually add that volume to your combustion volume or your piston volume, so compression ratio will likely be about 10.28 to 1, putting you more toward the safe side for your California gasoline. You should be fine. And it should be a really nice running engine.

I used the compression calculator on the Diamond Pistons website because it has more of these values available for entry for more accurate readings. I used your numbers, but I had to guess on the top ring location using .310" down, because I did not see it listed anywhere.
