Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well just got an email from the machine shop. Says the block is usable as it sits as long as we change out the cam bearings. So that's 2 shops saying its usable. Guy said he'd change out the bearings for 35 bucks plus the cost of the bearings. Also stated that if we kept the deck height as is, my CR would be about 9.5:1 with the pistons used. about a full point below my intended goal. So that's good news
Yeah the Max compression I can get out of these numbers 383 blocks, is 9.65 , using KB400's and the stock 906 heads. That's good enough for a resto project. Now the A990, Stroker, is a completely different matter. I'll probably go for 10 or 10.5, and try to keep a dynamic of 8.5 , to use pump gas, but that motor with breath very deep, with the other ingredients Im using. :thumbsup:
