I've opted to not use the KA head at this this. Having done the math, the KA head over the block I'm building will yield a sluggish 8.4:1 CR, which is fine for a daily driver, but not fine for the $350 pistons and the $75 head.

I've decided to use the A87 head I've got sitting on my L18 right now; it's got a grumbly Shadbolt cam in it, and it'll push the CR up to 9.5:1, which will give me a bit of oomph. I might go with the KA head in the future, when I feel like building a race car... but not now.

Anyhow, the 30-over pistons are in, as well as the rods... which means I'm ready to take everything into a shop and get it built.
