$2,200
.03 over bore, Forged 13cc dished pistons, ARP bolts, flywheel
Ford "B" cam, timing chain, balancer, oil pump

should be running about 9.7 : 1 c/r

should be ready for pick-up end of next week

86 5.0L

but didnt you just install H/C/I ?

awesome!!!!!!



those afr 165 will make you happy on that motor with that cam, low compression>? plan on blowing, running low octane, high timing or what?


Id make sure piston to valve clearance is ok and depending how much room is left , put some THIN headsgaskets and mill the heads .10

r.barn

yes, just did head/intake swap ........ most everything is going onto new engine
only need new intake and wasnt happy with BBK anyway.

9.7 is low? not high but not low either, nice middle of the road compression
should work good with "B" cam and 1.72 rockers, gonna give me about .514 lift
and good duration.
Thinner .038 head gasket will get me up to 9.86 c/r............ might do that

Cant wait............

Yea, thats a good compression because you can go either way with it. You won get full potential of either na or power adder but its good though. Nice choice!
