I have the Isky SB-2 cam and am quite satisfied with it. It does idle
a bit lumpy, but it is not uncomfortable. It pulls real nice over 3000
rpm up to about 5200 in 4th. In OD there's nothing over 5000. It'll
probably go 110, but I won't drive it above 90.

I have custom flat top Ross Racing aluminum forged pistons. They fit
an 82.5mm bore, if I remember correctly. They're setup for narrow
gauge chromoly rings and the set cost me about $370. They run in Chevy
rods and a stroked crank. It's right around 1800cc. Sorry, I'm not
too good at remembering specs.
