I'm putting together a 294 stroker that I bought from Gary from NY(He's on the barn here) he does the balancing The rods he furneshed cleared the cylinder bore and the L-100 cam. I have a modified stock head as well for a torque plate and I follow JWs method, works well. I use the 74cc Edelbrock heads and founf pd the piston to head clearance to be about .070" on the edge of the cylinders and .090" at the dome, CR checked out at 7.7. I'm having the heads milled 025" to tighten things up alittle.

One interesting note is the clearance over the spark plugs is enoug to run a powertip plug. I've checked 2 different styles of 3/4" reach plugs and both left 2 exposed threads, which will have to be removed. I'll have some pics soon.
