Default Re: perplexing situation

What are the cam specs that are going into these L78s? Have the blocks been decked? What CC are the heads, and how many CCs do the pistons displance(valve reliefs[flat top], domes[dome top pistons], dishes[dished pistons])? I bet that you could get an aftermarket grind from comp, crane, crower, lunati, or isky that would make more power, and would allow you to run pump gas. With the problems mentioned with some of the reformulated race fuels, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to build a motor that would not have to have race gas. Most of our cars sit up at one time or another and who wants to deal with the hassle of rebuilding carbs or draining fuel tanks.
