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?
