That's a smart idea. AKS801 - If you're running Webers then you're likely thinking about revving your engine a little higher than the average FE build. You might want to open the "should I install a solid cam" can o' worms. FWIW, I went with a shorter stroke (4.125) on my build and the bore just .025 over. Along with an aluminum flywheel, the solid flat tappet lets it rev past six grand without blinking an eye. Others will tell you that a solid flat tappet is just a PITA, so you'll have to weed through the BS and decide for yourself.
