I assume this is a carb set-up? With the way the build looks to me I'd go solid roller....basically a race car and the solid roller will be more stable and make more power.

Camshaft design can only be discussed once all the combo is known, along with gear ratio, trans, tire height, goals and usage...

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
