7.794 like all other other first gen SBC with flat tappet cam? That's my guess.

400SB is same as all the other factory SBC with respect to valvetrain.....

He not running a class that require stock springs, no need to do a rev kit. Just buy the right springs.

Ok I have it figured out. Im taking my exhaust off the car and the heads are going back to my machinist hopefully nothing major will be wrong with my heads or my shortblock. and hopefully ill have enough for hooker long tubes, mufflex y and mufflex 4inch catback.
