Where's Brian from Texas_Hot_Rods?? Need Help!
Have a question that someone else may know the answer to, but I'm betting Brian from Texas Hot Rods will know. He seems to know mod motors!
I'm rebuilding a 2v 4.6 I blew up. I will be using an aluminum block and the crank from a 97 Cobra to rebuild from. I will put 1L2E PI heads on it from a 2001 motor. I understand that putting PI heads on a pre-'99block will raise the compression to about 10.0-1 because of the smaller head chambers. What do I do? Machine morecc's into the heads or get bigger dishes in the pistons? I'm S/C'd so I need about 18cc dished pistons to get the compression down anyway evenbefore I goraising the compression by using the older block. Thanks.
(I know about the onemisaligned hole in the front coverfrom the2vto the4v)
