Need more info. What heads do you plan on running? Intake? Compression? Auto or manual?

The cam will be the last piece you buy. Build the engine and then call Total Engine Airflow and have Brian Tooley set you up with a custom cam.

I believe the piston with the wrist pin is the issue ..not rod length

not a myth.... I have seen the area right above the pin develop cranks leading into the oil rings and thus the engine would smoke...it was more of a qaulity problem....later when probe did some design changes it got alot better..with the chevy BB there was more area between the oil ring groove and the wrist pin..
