[BaadAssGremlins] I just dont know anymore :( :( (Building my 401)

["deezildennis" <dsinks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First off i want to say I already posted on the Amcforums site.
Please dont hate me. :(
 I guess they asume Im trying to build a full drag race engine.
My imidiate goal is make it a decent daily driver and a weekend 
racer if at all possible

So here I am, Shouldve asked here fist I know.

But Im at a loss, My remanned 401 turned out to be 8.5CR and now it 
seems my Cam isnt worth a crap in it.

The engine was a running stocker and I tore it down enough to put a 
(Recommended cam into it)  That was before I found out it was 8.5.

The cams summits Biggin for the Amc v8.

So what the heck do I do now?  I cant afford to do what it takes to 
get the cr up to 9.5 or higher.  Plus I want to run pump gas.

I just need advice and some positive renforcment :)

Heres what I got and Im stuck with because of money issues.

Stock 401 with 8.5
Torker intake 
Performer Intake
600 edelbrock carb 
and edelbrock 750.

Summits big cam or #8601 I think
Hedmann headers
and exhaust is up in the air.


What should I do to make this a runner in its as is state?

Any suggestions?
