Thank you all for your responses,. It appears that I need to return my dish pistons and get regular flat tops with valve releafs and get a new cam. Now the quest is what cam to get that will match the LT4 profile that worked on the 350 for the 383. I will have to get with the machinest that did my heads to find out what my heads were flowing. I have forgotten what he said they did. I do remember that it was a remarkably high number. I had never driven a car with such good throttle response until I got my head work done and installed. Any more good suggestions are welcome as well. I want to make sure that I build this right the first time around. Thank you again.
Give the links that I posted a call for more help
They are very proven builders in the LT1 world and have good power numbers.
