Storlein is specing both the rods, cam, and rockers.

I too am concerned about rod length as this will put the pin well into the oil ring and require a pancake of a piston. Storlein is specing this package and says that this is not a problem. What rod length would be better? 6.00?

Storlein has selected Comp as the cam grinder.

The BB Chevy arm is a Storlein selection and he says that this based on a better geometry for the valve train based on the positioning of the pushrod cup in the Chevy rocker arm vs the Ford rocker arm.

Block is good for 1.850 total bore so there is room for rebuild(s)

The King bearings have far superior wear and embedability characteristics as compared to Clevite. (My choice here)

Is Storlein wrong? Am I being steered down a bad path?
