Gm crank and rods(stock stroke)
trw dome top pistons part#l2239nf-30
comp cams magnum 292 cam
049 heads with 2.19/1.88 valves no port work
comp cams magnum roller rockers
holley dominator intake
i plan on using a 850 dp carb?
Comp ratio not sure but i think it should be @ 10.5 to 11.the heads were milled a little but not sure how much,the block was also decked but not sure either i know it wasn't zero decked though.i know its hard to guess with out comp ratio but i would just like opinions from yall and wat yall think about the combo thanks a lot.
Wow, I was just about to post the same question for my motor! We have a similar setup. I wonder if my heads will make much difference in the HP numbers.

Here's mine:
454 .030 over with stock crank and rods
Speed-Pro Pistons
Comp Cam 292H (.550 lift 244 @ .050 on intake and exhaust)
Edelbrock Performer RPM Marine Heads (2.25 int 1.89 ex, 110cc chambers, 290cc flow)
Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap Intake - Nascar edition
Comp Aluminum full roller rocker 1.7
850 Carb - considering Mighty Demon

Not sure on deck height but it's not zero. Compression ratio with these heads and pistions is 10:2 on paper.

Any guess on what this will make??
