No back cut on the valves either unless it was factory like the 455 SD Pontiacs and newer Vettes, etc. 99.9% of the current tech guys wont know the difference so if you have no morals go for it.

Terry, any chance I could get a copy of the '69 340 specs from you? Seems it would help considerably with cam choice.

We don't have any IHRA races close to here and I'd only be running the car in our local series, so I don't think they're gonna mind my 904. I'm trying to do this on the cheap (if that's even possible) and use as many parts as I already have, although it seems I now have to buy a set of small headers cuz I sold my old 1 5/8" ones last year.
