Quote: I ASSumed the piston depth based off a measurement I took from the original pistons and then added the CH of the new pistons. I know I'm not going to know for sure until I get it back from the machine shop, which is why I haven't ordered the head gaskets yet.
I may go with headers, not sure which ones would fit or not. This is a manual brake, manual steering '68 Sat.
The gear is a 3.23 with a 2500 stall. That cam should be just a little larger than a stock HP cam, so I'm not sure why 10.5:1 CR is really needed?
I'm not going to be racing this thing at the drag strip. It's a pretty cheap car that I don't have much money invested in and felt like making something to cruise and go fast in every now and then.
I usung the Summit headers on my 440-6. They fit w/o any problems. Even when I had PS. I'm also using a mini-starter. The 268 comp cam might be a better choice w/ your combo or the solid 528 if you don't mind spending a few more $$$ on adjustable rockers.
