pittsburghracer- I really have to make each dollar count as well. A lot of people have been telling me that I HAVE to run a vacuum pump. I feel its one more thing in the way and one more thing to go wrong.

Sounds like it be a fast dart, when I saw that paint my first thought was Cal Percy, painted just like his cars. Cant believe old Cal would give some one the short end though, well maybe he would I guess.
Glenn, How the hell ya been? Enjoying you new area? Miss seeing your car at firebird.

What rod journal size are you using? K1 rods look very nice. I've never held one in my hand. Just seen pics. Have you heard of Molnar rods? I've been kinda checking them out. I would LOVE a set of Corrillo's but my wallet doesn't.
I don't like beating the hell out of my stuff either. That's why I've opted to run lower RPM.
BTW... how heavy is your Daytona? etc....
Molnar's are nice rods...Iv'e been using them in lots of builds lately

If it was my own engine I would run a 55-60mm camshaft, over the factory journals. Probably overkill at the moment, but if you step it up later you don't have pay more $$$ to have the cam tunnel machined for it.
A vacuum pump can always be added later on, I would go with atleast a 0.043" top and second ring anyway, rather than the old school 1/16" ring.

I did order it with the larger cam journals. But not the raised cam.

I didn't think Cal would do that either. Boy was I wrong.

Yep I did at least order the block with the 54mm cam journals. and I'm split on if I should go 1mm top and second ring or .043.

I'm pretty sure I will run Ross Pistons and Bullet Cam as well. Are you running the 54mm cam? I was going to be using T&D for my rockers. For the crank I've been looking at Ohio Crankshaft.
