I highly suggest you talk to Russ, very nice guy and easy to talk to about all these questions. He has the cam you need, piston and rod combo's that work correctly and will probably save you some $ in machining costs.

I have talked to Russ and he agrees that my plan sounds pretty solid. Anyone prefer Clevite or King main and rod bearings?

Fel-Pro has a good one for like 50 bucks. It’s .040 thick but it has a 4 inch bore. Part # is 26211PT .

I didnt build it so I dont know the specifics, was told (receipts for proof) that it is a Clegg's Stage 3 kit with the Stage 1 cam. Pretty sure its a non ported 0630 head, ebay stainless header, 2.5" collector and 2.5 pipe out to a flowmaster hushpower muffler.

But you can listen here and get an idea of the idle sound and then a quick rip up to about 4000 rpm.

Sounds sick👍 are you pleased with the engine? Good power over stock? Any issues with it?

Just a heads up. That Fel-Pro gasket is nothing more than a repackaged marked up Victor Reinz/Mahle MLS gasket.
