I had acompresion issue so i to the motor apart thought it was the rings :D

turns out not that but just a pluged dmc pipe:ermm:
the packing came loose

since the motor is in peices i want to 440 and cam :devil:
is there any thing that needs/should be done to the to the motor other than installing the Weisco 440 kit and hotcam stage 2?

head work? valve springs? crankshaft? i mean anything.

Off course you will have to rejet, I have been told with a stage 2 cam you need stiffer springs and hardened arms, but I know lots of ppl who don't use them, it's more precautionary.

1) Oversize valves - These are good
2) Head Porting - Important if you get the oversize valves
3) Carillo Rod (Semi-optional)
4) New Cylinder Studs (dont waste your money)
5) Consider a higher compression piston - lots to choose from
