Re: 396 Build Up
Just another update. I bit the bullet and ordered pistons with 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 ductile/moly rings from Ross. They will take 3 weeks but it sounds like they are worth it. My 077 heads were 112cc. The combo will be right around 10.4:1 compression.
I also called Comp Cams and ordered their Xtreme Energy XR274R solid roller cam kit. It's a special order because the cam I wanted is 11-770-9 which is a solid core and the only thing available on paper was 11-770-8 which is a cast core. http://www.compperformancegroupstores.co...;Category_Code = All in all it sound like this package will work good for what I am doing. Thanks for all the comments, replies and help. BTW...keep them coming. Kurt

Re: 396 Build Up
I think you made a very wise camshaft selection. That's actually one my leading choices in a current build.

It was a toss up with two cams. The one above or 11-771-8. CC thought that the 770 cam was better for me.

CC your heads, and then you can get serious about a piston search... </div></div> Rob, I took your advise along with many others. Here are the Ross pistons I ordered. I hope they run as good as they look!!!
