I recently purchased a set of headers and sniper 1100 to go along with my DSII/MSD setup I plan on adding this winter. I've been thinking of having the engine rebuilt since compression is pretty low, but within 10%, with sort of decent plug colors. A couple cylinders show signs of oil on the plug threads, porcelain and rest look okay. Also needs a timing chain and rear main. The PO said he never did anything to it in the previous 26 years and I believe it. I had to replace a ton of things to make it reliable. So short term is an Holley 1100 EFI with a set on headers. Long term, I would like to snag one of Matt Cox's heads when they become available and fuel inject it since the tank, pump, etc are already in-place, not a lot of extra work there. I decided to to go the 250 route since I already have the sniper. Now for the question: Should I stick with stock setup? I assume the Sniper would run best off a stock cam. What about valve springs?Zero-decking the pistons?
I also have a builder working on a 289 for my wife's 67 vert I am working on and was thinking about having them go through my 200 this winter. They have a great reputation and have quite a setup in Roanoke, VA. https://waltersengines.com/
