Not looking for top end, low to mid range.

Oh, it's a 468 with 2399TRW pistons (LS-6 replacements)
My 496 is getting an comp cams XE294HR hydraulic roller. The heads are early 454 iron heads with the small combustion chambers, ported and polished. The compression ratio is going to be 9.8:1, so I should be able to run pump gas.
This guy is pretty reputable and builds things to last.
