Howdy all. Ive been lurking here in the forums for quite some time. Im about to order everything for my engine rebuild. Just wanted to know if i could get any input from you experts. Im trying to stay away from dumping a butt load of money into my head by using oversized valves and so on, but well see how that goes. im not trying to make a drag strip truck, im just trying to build up a mild performer for everyday use and the occasional stop light run. i have a 1965 dodge a100 and its engine is in dire need of rebuilding.

heres the parts i plan on putting in it.

rebuild kit minus cam lifters and timing set from
http://www.rpmmachine.com/engine-rebuil ... sler.shtml

isky cam #152115 with 256 duration and .283 lift
isky lifters pushrods springs and retainers that go with that cam

offy 4 bbl intake

edelbrock 500 cfm performer series

pertronix flame thrower II coil
pertronix ignitor II electronic ignition

comp cams timing chain set

clifford performance ceramic headers

havent decided on mufflers yet

topped off with a k&n air cleaner.

as far as machine work is concerned, i planned on having the block decked and the head shaved a bit too to boost compression. what would you guys suggest as good amounts for that? i also plan on getting the block bored and honed as well. any input would be greatly appreciated. a good friend of mine is trying to help me put together the parts for the kind of performance im looking for, but hes a big block chevy guy and he thought you guys would know best.

thanks
