Hi everyone- Have a '66 383 that I'm planning on rebuilding to stuff in a 67 Belvedere ll. I would like to have a moderately snappy street car that could make a pass or two at the dragstrip...for fun. Reusing the original iron 516 heads, (yeah, I know people don't love them), so a couple years before I read all the input about better flowing heads, I had already put 2.14/1.81 stainless valves and new springs in them. My question is... in an attempt to get to 10:1 compression, with zero deck height pistons, measured 76cc chambers, a .005 cleanup cut on the heads, .039 FelPro gaskets, stock crank...I assume I'm gonna need valve reliefs in the pistons? One (stock rockers) cam I'm considering is Lunati Voodoo 262, but it's probably gonna screw me up with the lift. I've looked at a million combinations till I've gone crosseyed, and I'd appreciate anyone's input or help, as I'm not the best Mopar guy by a longshot. I know I probably haven't provided enough info, so please tell me what else you need to make an informed decision. Thanks.
