Hi David...I really enjoy your "Max performance Chevy Small Blocks on a Budget" Book, I do quite a bit of reading for my project, because I can afford a book, but the engine components come a little less frquently. I have read a lot of books, and by far...that one is the best for my situation! Thank you!

I have settled on Engine Combination #4 in your book. I have a 68 camaro, and I think the low end torque would suuit the application well. So you combo calls for:

1. Kieth Black signature series 122 Hyperutectic pistons (I have)
2. Reground 400, or Scat Alternative cast steel (I have)
3. Alternative Scat 6" full floating rods (I have)
4. Reworked stock oil (I have)
5. Comp Cams 270 H on 106 LCA (I do not have, and cannot find)
6. Heads 186s with full porting. Holley 750 Vac Sec and butterflies (I do not have)

I have two questions:
1. I am not confident in my porting skills (even though I have read your porting book), could you recommend a set of heads that will deliver the required performance "out of the box"?
2. Would you recommend an alternative Cam, or should I order a custom unit to your specs?

Best,

Michael Murguia
