If you use L2291 pistons and if the block has ever been resurfaced(-.007" for resurface) you'll have .010" from top of piston to top of block. Use the .027" Comatic MLS gasket and coat both sides with copper-coat. Depending on the cam you're using (for example I used a 268/268 comp cam) you'll get a engine with .037" quench running 9.6 CR / 7.9 DCR, which would be respectable and able to run 87/89 octane gas. Unless you plan on shaving .020 off a 10.4 second ET @ 7000 rpm's, I get rid of that solid lift cam and put a nice Hydraulic cam and lifters in it. Having a questionable rocker assembly is risky at most if you're looking for dependability. Sell that rocker assy to someone that likes working on their car along side of the road. Just my take. I like working on an engine once, I like driving all the time.
