If the cam is a hydraulic lifter CJ type it isn't going to rev over 6,500 no matter how light the valve train is.

All you need to make 450-500hp is a stock short block with flat top pistons, a set of ported 2v closed chamber Australian iron heads (cheap), and an aggressive, rumpity, rumpity hydraulic lifter cam with the right springs.

You can probably use your stock short block, even if it has dished pistons, spend $2,500 and be over 450hp.

You will be happier and live longer if you do it. Why wait?

Actualy, my goal is to be just under 400 horsepower and use premium pump gas. I already have the 4v closed chamber heads and I was wanting to put them on my new engine. So if I get a hotter flat tappet hydralic cam, my Closed chamber heads with light valves, correct spring for the applicatio, keep the dished pitons, would I get close???
