273 302 318 340 build

No 360 lol. Alrho I will be tackling the 360 in my 84 Prospector.
Maybe the 1st 318 I bought will go in the truck.
I read on fabo where factory compression for 2bl 273 was 8.8:1?
Just wondering if the 85 318 I bought is worth putting in vs 74 .030 318 (with valve reliefs)?
You say you found a 360? :D

I just about made up my mind that everything needs to run on 93 octane. No matter the compression ratio. The gas we get now days sucks.... sucks really bad. Talked to a self employed mechanic who has been doing mechanic work for like 50 years. He said he runs 93 in every engine he has... even his lawnmower and weed eater. My dodge ram likes the 93 better than the 87. However my Triumph Rocket III Roadster doesn't like 93 but likes 87... strange. I think the compression of the bike is 8.5. I do remember it is in the 8s. I'm sure there are other factors involved.
