: For my first performance duece and a quarter
: slant six, I want to use the Mopar Perf.
: 284-.528 cam. Using cast pistons with no
: valve notch, how much can I cut the block
: and head before the valves start banging the
: pistons. I'd like to be able to cut a total
: of .200 off the block and head. If I can't
: get close to this number, I'll look at a
: different game plan. Using Mopar's formula,
: this cam figures to be 241@.050 duration.

: Thanks Will. I'll go ahead and order the cam
: since I can get the compression I want. When
: I get it I'll put it in a stock motor to
: make sure there's .290 clearance (.100
: headcut, .100 blockcut, and .090 valve
: clearance). I didn't want to buy the cam,
: make the cuts and then find out the valves
: are too close to hitting. If I can get .100
: block and .060 head I'll be happy.
