Muwahahaaha!!! Thanks George. Do you have to use differant pistons?? ...
Not at all, you can run what ya brung, but the performance of the motor will be effected. quite frankly, if you're not zero decking the block & if the motor has flat tops in it, I would just mill the OC heads, shoot for 9.0:1 compression. If the pistons are dished, then install the CC heads just to get the compression up...OR...rather than dumping bucks into the iron heads, go for a set of CHI or AFD alloy 2V heads.

the hydraulic roller lifters may be a bit much for a newbie. I recommend a flat tappet hydraulic cam, the Comp Cams XE274 is a good recomendation, lots of lift to make big bhp, but not a lot of overlap, for drivability, good cam for around 9.0:1 compression. Or an alternate cam could be one of those old '70s vintage 290/290, .505/.505 cams, one of those will put some grins on yer face, but leave you with a reliable, drivable motor.
