Compression Height
I am planning on building a 383 to replace my sorry little 2.8L. This will be a street motor that will see some track time *hopefully* this spring. My main concern is using a 6" rod. I am concerned about longevity in this combo with a compression height of only 1.125" This will a N/A motor - no nitrous, no boost.
Here's what I have to work with:
383ci
Scat 9000 crank 3.75" (9-350-3750-6000-L)
Scat 6" I-beam rods (2-ICR6000)
SpeedPro HE pistons (8KH124CL30)
CompCams XR276HR (08-503-8)
AFR 195cc street head (1038)
Will a 1.125" compression height be sufficient? What are your opinions?

I'm trying to keep this build as cheap as possible within reason. 6" rods and pistons are typically cheaper and easier to find.
