I'm pretty sure it's with Keith Black pistons; aiming for a 9.5-10:1 compression.

There they are. With my heads, they should give me 9.5:1 compression.

good choice on the pistons, though.

Yeah, it's a kit, but the rest of the stuff is just for the block; like cam bearings and stuff. Nothing interesting enough to look up haha.

Haha nope, maybe down the road. The guy at the shop hooked me up with another stock crank (the old one was past the point of return) and got it resurfaced for me.

Alrighty, I told the machine shop last week to go ahead and order me the bottom end kit with forged pistons (figure I'm gonna go ahead and do it 100% while I'm in here). Everything should be done next week, ready for me to start assembly. All I gotta do now is grab a cam and a fuel pump. It's getting close, guys!

That should be a nice setup for it. It's a clean car!
Iirc, Weren't you looking at the speed density cams from comp and crower? Very interested in your choice and how your machinist thinks it will work.

Thanks,
Mike

Yeah, I'm currently looking for a Crower 15511 preferrably; but would also consider a Comp XE264. These choices are mainly based on what other people have said who have used these cams with SD.
