If it is the factory shortblock your 11 to 1 is probably closer to 10.6 to 1. The Brodix IK 180 is 64 CC chamber just like your factory heads if you bought the 64 cc ones. If this is the case the XE288HR with a 112 LSA should do what you want. The lift is less than the RPM cam with a little more duration,. Should cruise fine with your 3.70 gears. 4 speed and 1.6 rockers, be really fast and run pump fuel. Spend a few $ more for the beehives since you really need new springs for your cam anyway. They are worth it when you get to this build level. Wish they were availabe when I built mine. Get your valvetrain geometry right, correct pushrod length and check piston to valve clearance closely and you should be good to go.
I will go for the XE288HR cam. How will the idle be?
Sorry for my bad grammer/understanding of English, (I am from Denmark, Europe) but what is beehives(please send a link)
I have the std. 1969 pushrod, do I have to buy new pushrods? (link please)
Also the springs, If you have a good proposal, please send a link.
