After a survey of the parts on hand, here is one possible combination:

383 block .040 over Hughes girdle factory caps (all machined).
Eagle 3.9 inch crank 383 mains 2.2 Rod journals.
K1 6.7 inch H beams (from DRAM - RIP).
Diamond 4.29 inch pistons. 1.32 CD 4cc valve reliefs.
Rotating assembly balanced.
Indy 440-1 milled 62 cc chambers - flow approx 340cfm: These are circa Y2K vintage.
ICH 1.6 ratio blue Dove rockers - almost new.
400-2 Indy intake (supposedly ported by Indy)
Summit balancer.
Holley 850 (8082 with adapter can be added later).
Milodon single line static, Melling HV pump
Cam (to be purchased) – Howards 722422-08: Lift: .66 / .68 (w/1.6), Duration @ .050: 264/272 Centerline: 104?
Lifters Howards EDM
Valve Springs (to be purcahsed)? K-motion K850?

Compression around 12.7 to one.

Goals: put some parts into service. Bring car (3300 lbs, ladder bar and 727) in garage since 2004 back to life. Make a few passes at the strip and drive 20 miles on the street at least one time.

Thoughts on the cam and valve springs? Other?
