Subject: SD> cam interchange question.

Hello everyone. I'm starting to build another engine and have to figure out
which direction I want to go. I will be using as a street car, no racing. I
want a little bit bigger cam and a couple pounds more boost. Is there ant
real advantage to using the forged crank as opposed to the cast crank for
this application? I hear the cast cranks are overbuilt so they should be OK
for anything other than the hardest use. At what point in the performance
spectrum should one consider a forged crank? 

Also I have access to a 1987 GLHS head and a later head that was on a common
block which had a roller cam. I hear that you can put a roller cam in a
slider engine but nor the other way around. Is this true? Something to do
with too much oiling or nor enuff I don't recall. Any help much appreciated,
trying to figure what i need to build, don't want any surprises halfway
through the build.
