and yea LE2 package it will be, might even try and save the money up to go with the LE3 package, but im not sure what cam to go with, i'm thinking the cam that comes with the package, or maybe even a little bigger
i want a killer car and i dont wanna do it twice. Plus i'll be having the motor rebuilt at the same time hopefully stroking to a 383 but still undecided on that detail as well. Def getting at least rebuilt with forged internals, but i really do want to stroke to a 383, or at least go with a 355. Decisions decisions, probably wont be for about 2 months thou so i got time to decide. . .

If I were you I would tell Lloyd exactly what you want out of the car and he'll fix you up just right.
Elliott keep us posted as to what you find. My money is still on the head gasket.

Throw a 100-150 spray on that and you will have that "Killer" car you said you wanted.

Did you put the H/C package on without at least a hone and rings? I have never had any luck doing half a build on a motor. I have done rings without a valve job and wasn't long before I needed valve work, and I have done a valve job without rings and needed rings in no time.
If you didn't freshen the bottom end I'm betting the added compression and fresh top end has your poor old rings leaking badly.
