See, that's the problem, my block isn't gonna last much longer. When I put the HO cam in the cam bearings are pretty worn and I know the main bearings are because I've getting barely any oil pressure. It runs fine, but I don't think it will last long at all. Also, it's not an HO block, it's the stock cougar block that has flat top pistons so as far as a cam goes, I'm told the HO is the best I can do. So, sounds like maybe I should look into getting an old 302 and boring it over, new pistons, rods, bearings and all. Anyway, thanks for the help.
