Sounds like you're not going to be hitting much rpm with the combination your running . So I'd be looking at the 180s if I were doing the build. Would be easier to give an opinion if I knew the upper rpm you're wanting to hit, and the cam specs. The use of the vehicle would be nice also. What stall in the converter?

As far as angle compared to the straight plug heads. I've heard that some people have problems with header clearances on the angle plugs. Myself,...I have had more problems with the straight plug heads having header problems the with the angled. Angled are suppose to make more power. If it were me,...I'd run the angle every time.

cam spec 234/244 .488/.510 rpm range would be 1500-6500 no stall going to be running 4spd. just a toy to drive around 70 chevy c-10 thanks for the info.

want-a-be got me thinking do i need to go to 74 cc chambers if so what size runners on 74cc heads ? and then does that drop my compression to much?

Yes,...I'd go with the 200s myself also. For some reason I was thinking you was going for lower RPMs. :cool:

I have the 200's on mine i would say this is a good choice.I have the straight plugs on mine the #6 and #3 plugs are a little tight but not too bad.:D

What pistons are in this. What rod length, what is the piston to deck. I would run the 64's if you think it is 10:1.

X2,... especially if you're going to be running aluminum heads. BAD67 and lun40119 both have pretty combinations. Would do good to give them a listen.
