You can't intelligently choose a head gasket until you know the piston deck height, (distance from the crown of the piston to the block deck surface where the heads bolt on with the piston at top dead center).
I've already explained to you how to do this in post #8 of this thread....

IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PAY ATTENTION AND GO ACCORDINGLY, I'M GOING TO STOP TRYING TO HELP YOU. WAKE THE HELL UP AND PULL YOUR HEAD OUT!!!!!!!!

"I was thinking something like this for cam the extreme energy 262"

You can't intelligently choose a cam until you have figured the static compression ratio of the motor.

Okay Okay I am not about to anything without your blessing. I am just trying to get something in the back of my head on what I am able to do. I understand I need to measure the deck. I will do this as soon as i get back to florida in about a month. Mainly I am trying to decide if I should pick up these 67cc heads. I mean they are 250 bucks with less then 250 miles on them. I need some with a conventional bolt pattern and I was thinking they may get me in the 300-350 neighborhood.

Okay tech I can do everything the same even though its gonna be a built short block? And not pistons without rings.
