"...i'd like to hear from someone with some early k-cam experience..."

Made my '75 B20F move right along. It was bored to 2.1 (+.060), with Mahle pistons, Deves rings, IPD lifters 'n pushrods, dual springs, bronze guides, alloy retainers, Teflon seals, lightened flywheel, hi-pressure oil pump, CD ignition, IPD headers. Fully balanced, damper to clutch. Head cc'd, ported, polished, ports matched to manifold, 10.8:1 cr.

Though it wound easily to 7500, I'd say it rolled off around 6500. 'Course, I'm working from memory—I sold the car around '88.
