Some questions from the curious youngester Bobby,
Did you put a race grind on the crank?
Yes I did put a race grind on the crank.
Did you lighten up the pistons any more then what they came as?
No as they are already lighter than the factory 360 pistons and there wasn't any need to do this.
What brand and style pistons did you use and how much did they weigh?
They were TRW forged pistons, and stock low compression, they weighed 609 grms and 154 grm pins.
Did you lighten up the rods?
No, as there wasn't any need to
Shave the heads any to get the bigger chamber sive shaved down to the 318s bore size?
No because the compression was already high enough.
Meant to say this earlier but if you did shave the heads it would increase the valve travel and start to hit the pistons so is there any way of putting deeper valve reliefs in the piston. I know this is boarderline crazy but just curious as always.
Yes I made the valve pockets .200 deeper for the cam that I used.
Thanks again Bobby for this post, I remember asking you about this type of engine but we didnt go into details.
