If you like the set it and forget way like me , the Comp xe274h cam i hear would be an excellent choice

IMHO,I wouldn't "limt" myself as to whats "available" from Summit or Jegs.Do you have any ET goals in mind or just a "fun" cruiser?

Those 2240's with dome or without, i.e., do you know the compression ratio?

Those 2242's are the same pistons I have in my 396 +.030. They have .335 dome and list a comp ratio of 10:59 with a 109 cc head. I am curious to know the comp ratio with a 119 cc head maybe milled 3-5 thousanths.
