I need to find a shop that can inspect the bottom end for me, figure out why I have low oil pressure (15psi at 195 degrees in gear at 800rpm), maybe install my new cam, go through my 5-year old heads to be sure they are still good and maybe put it all together for me ready to drop in and break in. Here is my current setup: 1976 4-bolt main 350 The rotating assembly from Summit description lists 350 length rods and dished pistons to keep compression under 11to1. Eagle kit, hypereutectic pistons with 12.00cc dish and forged 5140 rods. 383 Stroker kit externally balanced. 461 camel back heads, 64cc, 2.02/1.60 valves, intake runner 161cc?
