All of the bells and whistles from Mr. Mamo... hollow valves, HD springs, and hand finished.
They were designed for 11.5:1 with .040 head gasket, so I am going to stick with the .040 head gasket. I will lower the compression with pistons (shooting for 10:1 so I can put on a Magnuson 2300 one day.

Next on the list:
Pistons
Rods

I am 95% certain I am getting K1 rods. Still tossing around 3.898 vs 3.903 pistons.

I intend to put a Magnuson 2300 on it eventually, so 11.5:1 is too high.
