I would find me a 817 casting first of all. Then I would go with 6 inch rods if within your budget. As for cam and heads, I am not the one to comment on that. Too many variables.Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.

Not to hijack this thread, but I have an 817 casting 400. What is the difference? Saving mine for a future project.

The 817 block had a higher nickel content and weights 10-20 lbs more, I forget now. Everyone always speaks of the 509 and the 511, but I wouldn't use either one of those.

Thanks, Typhoon! Now maybe someone will chime in on heads and I can pick up some good info on that, too. I have the 1.94 76cc heads, worked pretty good on my boat, may need to make some changes for a street motor with a manual trans.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
