Wow Ram I have always been impressed by that build! One of my favorite small block builds actually. I have looked back on it many times and is the inspiration for my 340/3.58 stroke build. You make a lot of good points about head capabilities along with my personal feelings about side loading and piston speeds it's a great combined For what I need/ want . Thanks for all the hard work!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words, that build was probably my fave for a multitude of reasons but that shortblock actually spent the summer in a circletrack car with W2's on it and I didn't get my hands on the engine until the first week of September--for those that don't know the contest was always the first week of October. I would have loved to have had fresh bores with some really trick pistons/rings etc... Fun times though. Eventually the heads went on a 417 that I felt underperformed all things considered--555hp/539tq. J.Rob
