I spun it the first time and I thought I would get away by putting an over size 10 on the rod that spun but its going out again so I have top pull out the crank..since I'm pulling it out I want to rebuild it and put a cam and port the heads..I don't want anything over the top cuz I'm gonna have a kid so time to think different

where in cali are you? id recomend the cc503cam for stock heads. if you want heads done call up ai or le and they'll work the heads and get you set up with a cam to meet your goals.

LE is in Texas ... not sure where AI is.

LE's site: http://elliottsportworks.com/
Ai's site: http://www.advancedinduction.com/

Can't go wrong with either company.

... Ill be selling my XFI 280 cam sometime next month. Makes a great daily driver cam in a 383. Search my screen name on youtube for a few clips.

AI is in North Carolina - neither of which are local. They are both porting services.
