I bought a 315 dodge hemi a few years back and decided to get it running recently. It’s pretty much done now and I’ll be posting pics and technical info. Hopefully this may help others interested in helping make choices about their own build.

Valve reliefs in Poly pistons are not exactly in the same place as the hemi pistons. Did you check clearance?
