Agreed h.e., it's not going to do much of anything with this piston. Especially once I put a gasket on it.
I've got roughly 13cc of dead space around the edges (I CC'd and did the 1" down measurements etc) and although I could cut the block, I have
no desire to push any limits.

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so anything to help visualize the stuff I figure is a good idea.

Cam wise I'm going to start with 276/280@.050 on 112, .420 lobe lift. Not 100% sure on rocker ratio or gross valve lift yet.
A local horsepower God tells me the cam is about 20 degrees too big for my application, so it will be interesting to put that thought to the test.
What I have should be good enough to get it running and decide if I like it, at least.
