Man one day for sure I’m gonna build me an 11:1 Comp. 318 with a solid roller and w2 heads.

currently looking in the junk yards for an 80’s roller block. Mmmhhhmm.

Do you need a roller block with solid rollers. I have not seen solid rollers that use the factory roller alignment system. They generally use link bar rollers. The other issue is running 11:1 these days as the push to go electrons is only going to get worse. Personnally I think the woke numbnutz that are working the carbon climate strategy are pissing on an electric fence. We have had global warming for something like 12,000 years, since the end of the last iceage. Enough on that rant.
A 10:1 stroker for about 6 liter displacement and that can run on 91 octane or less would be a better plan. Get a copy of David Visard's "How to Build Horsepower" and " How to Port and Flow Test Cylinder Heads". I have no financial interest in these books, but he gives some valuable information. Some goes against the current, but his record of race and championship wins as an engine builder and race driver in multiple series indicates he knows what he talks of. You can find his videos on Youtube under Powertec 10. He definately goes against convention on cam LCA. Do a lot of research before making parts purchases as you will save yourself tons of money and headaches.
