Ray, I won't get my shorts all bunched up over your comment, because I was likely building motors while you were still crappin' green. You have to understand that it is encumbent upon the writer to protect the OP (original poster) from doing something that may result in disaster. You might grind on 99 sets of rods and be OK, but the 100th set will unwind due to an occlusion in the metal or some other reason and the OP has suffered a multi-thousand dollar loss. I will always err on the side of caution, I'm sorry you don't see it the same way. A reduced base circle cam is a no-cost option when ordering the new cam and the 25700P rods are a ~$270 cost option. Now, if the OP has already reached out into thin air and chosen a cam, that's not my fault. The cam should be the next to last thing chosen for a build, right before the torque converter.
