Trying a lil different combo on my 318 ...

2843675 is the casting.. I guess I'm gonna go on and do a valve job on these things & change springs to match cam...everything i read says stay around .450" lift with those small valves... im used to alot more racy stuff but maybe this lil engine will surprise me.... I'm gonna go with thinner head gasket to with hopes of 9.1 CR... to bad I can't find a dual point distributor somewhere..... lol....
Those are the later open chamber heads. With stock 2 barrel pistons and todays thinnest head gaskets you probably will end up wit around 8.5/1. The open chamber heads are the same heads used on the 68-71 318's. The #302 heads are closed chamber and will bump your compression a half point or so plus they flow better. 273 heads like the #920's (you want 1966 and up) are the same valve size as the 318 heads but are closed chamber.
