haha whys that?

I did not know the pistons would have to be cut...I'm guessin i gotta pull the slugs and send them to a machine shop for that that...DAMN that sucks

actually I do have a comment, if the bottom end you are using will be a stock 302 with stock type pistons, there are ways around flycutting, I have a friend that had the canfields and we installed them on a stock bottom end and had a custom CI cam designed so that the valve events were taylored to not have any radial or vertical PTV issues...worked great

how do you like your setup do you have any dyno runs or track passes with that setup? how does it behave on the street
