My 1949 GMC is quickly looking like it will become a period correct fun street machine - a good running 270 with eye candy. Seeking your input on other considerations. New dome top pistons – 10:1 same rods - ordered Dual carb intake & dual period correct Zenith carbs – have it 6v Pertronix ignition - installed Split headers – have it Full flow oil system with screw-on oil filter Timing cover trick Performance cam – have it Adv / Dur: 298 / 298 .050 Dur: 228 / 228 Cam Lift: .297 / .297 Valve Lift: .490 / .490 Centerline: 106 / 114 Mild porting to existing head (small port) Rebuild head to original specs Electric fuel pump? – your thoughts? Overbore to get 292? – your thoughts? Larger Exhaust Valves in stock head? Drive train will remain stock. Anything else I should do to warm up the engine?
