dunno this

" Cam? That one is a tough one, do I want to stick to a stock stick?

for a lowbuck i'd stick with the stock cam if there isn't anything
wrong with it.  at least one fellow is running an '80s 258 cam without
pinging and the 4.0 cam is a bit more radical.

" The head is a standard favorite casting [forget the number] from a

" job done.

#7120.  how much have you done on the chambers?  i'd generally smooth
them, and lay the head gasket on in the head and smooth the edges
where it doesn't cover them, to lower octane requirement.  add colder
plugs like champ rc9s and you might even be able to advance the cam
back to 'renix' marks.

note: the 2.5 runs zero deck and 9.2:1 c/r.  dunno how the cam
compares to the 4.0 but i believe it's essentially the same.

" My other questions are since this will be a true lowbuck stroker
" build, should I deck the block 010-020" while it's down? 
" My twisted side is considering decking to zero the pistons and running
" it on E85.

doesn't sound very lowbuck!  i'd deck it only what it needs.
