Thanks again It sounds great.

Here are some specs: The block was cleaned and Magged for cracks then decked (one bank was .012 taller than the other) It is not relieved. I’m not sure helps with flow that much anyway and I don’t think that’s going to help much on a street motor. The EAB heads were milled. 020 plus whatever they had been milled before. They also have had “Fire Slots” machined into the chambers in the past. Then the block was then bored and honed and standard valve job done. I lapped all the valves in at home and numbered them so they will stay in the same location they were lapped in at.
For cam choice I went with a 1007-B grind as recommended by Pete. The first brand new Isky cam was ground way off spec so I went with a regrind from Delta Cams in the same grind 1007-B it checked out perfect (Thanks Old…Bill).
I drilled holes in the lifter bores to hold the lifters while setting the lash. Valve lash is set at .012 and .014. Isky 185-G valve springs and adjustable lifters were used. New valve guides and stock size valves also.
I used the Scat balanced stroker kit (4.125 stroke and 3 5/16 bore) with Ross pistons and copper head gaskets. I ended up with a .035 quench. Ring gaps were .016 for the top and .014 for the second rings. The crank endplay was .006. All the bearing clearances were re checked with plastigauge and were all just under .002. I used the standard Melling oil pump.
