Ported heads....maybe....stroker....definitely not. I want a revvy engine this time. My little SB stroker is a small bore, long stroke....it makes all it's gonna make at 5400 rpm. I want a revver this time. A 4.128" bore with a 3.98" should fit the bill with high compression and a big cam.

The cam I'm looking at is a solid flat tappet cam.... .605 lift.

I love that hard hitting high compression sound. Just don't know if it's worth the extra 15-20 hp and the sound for all the gas crap I'll have to go through.

With that cam and aluminum heads I can get 11:1 on pump gas according to the dynamic CR figures....

I just don't know if that's thumpy enough for me.
