So should that bottom end hold up ok in your opinion. I think i will go with my heads and have them re-worked. Thanks for the heads up on the filter i got one that is canister style that mounts on the frame. What do you think about this cam kit? that way i will have the correct springs for the cam.
Ya I built my 383 a few years ago that is now in my old mans corvette. I know how to plastigage and everything so i figured id do this one also.

Stay away from Alum roller rockers, get some chrome molly ones. Some Super Comp headers should work fine. ALSO, I have heard some bad horror stories about plastic, see thru fuel filters, plastic melts when it gets hot and yours is pretty close to the engine. Get an alum or someother type of filter, i would hate to see that truck burned up.
