I Have that book its very good reading and i like the recipe section at the rear of the book. But my basic build is a
1969 xx block bored .030 over pistons matched to bore. He would not bore without the pistons present.

Fully balance rotating assembly using arp rod bolls and TRW forged pistons compression reduced to around 9.5 to 1 CR
A 068 clone cam from summit racing, with matching lifter (anti-pumpup)

1969 #16 heads full head job with SS valves and a higher pressure set of springs. And big block chevy rocker studs.
(I don’t know of the top of my head what they are )The shop that did the work accidently pocket ported the heads because they thought I had asked them too, but I didn’t. So I met him half way on the porting cost. And he does know Pontiacs.Also using ARP head bolts.
Edelbrock performer RPM manifold with an 1969 Qjet 800 cfm Carb

Stock distributor with an electronic conversion kit from MSD I think , again I’d have to go look at my receipt’s / orders. . Initial timing is either 8 or 10 % BTD And its 34% all in by 3300 RPM..( I have a spring kit haven’t played with it yet. )

This is connected to a 200-4r transmission from 200raptor.com the level3 Reptoid transmission good to 500HP . via a 2000 RPM stall converter

Rear is a 1969 positrac rear end (Pontiac) totally rebuilt running 3:55 ratio.

I’d rather NOT change the intake , id rather do the cam instead , took me a while to get all the hoses and linkage the way I wanted them so they would work correctly with the transmission. So what would be a good cam for this engine ?
