A couple of years ago I rebuilt a 1500 for my 65 Spit. I went .030 over
and installed flat top pistons. Also, I had .060 milled off the head.
Sounds like a lot, but that is what some racing shops suggested. The
machine shop balked and said they could not guarantee anything going
that far. But it worked out OK.
I installed a cam I got from Brit Parts Northwest 503-864-2001. It is
their model HR 270/2. A mild+ street cam.
I am running a Weber down draft.
The whole thing works beautifully! Lotta performance all the way
through. In fact, I shattered a crank not to long after i installed the
whole thing. Be careful.
Spend the extra money to have the engine balanced before assembly. It
should cost about $120.
All the best,
