i have a pretty much stock 302. 60 over,small cam(isk381262) valve lift is only .448 int/exh.
.050 dur. 208int. 208exh. gonna trade the intake i have now for a air-gap.

i also have dished pistons. my dad bought this motor before i could pick out a good short block. [Frown] don't know the exact comp ratio but around 9 to 1.(maybe a little less) i thought about stabbin' in a bigger cam, roller rockers, i have good ignition(msd dis and box) just not sure if i should buy 165's used? and then when i build my 347 just buy a set of 185's then. if i buy the 165's i want the smaller com.chambers to bump up the comp.(if used i will mill them a little.)
185's will be too much for 310ci right? unless i really make alot of power with it. what should i do? [Confused]
