Compression
How many points do you lose in your compression ration if you drop in a 4.2 crank in 3.8 without replacing rods, pistons, etc.?

RE: Compression
I believe compression is based on the pistons...heads, intakes don't do anything to it.

RE: Compression
Huh?
I'm talking about dropping in a Ford 4.2L engine crankshaft from like an F-150 into a stock 3.8 and wondering how that will affect the compression.

RE: Compression
i dont think it will change it at all...as long as your lower end (pistons, rods, etc)
