340 Piston Selection

If his heads have a .060 recess cut in them, the piston needs to be out of the deck.

As for killing flow, you'd have to spend some time on a flow bench. It damn sure does affect flow. Think about how important a top cut is. Then you move the deck closer to the top cut? Bad idea. You can mill a head within reason. To run a zero deck and then deck the piss out of the heads to get the CR you want is *** backwards.

That recess is assbackwards,its a solution offered to people who already have those tall pistons in an asembled shortblock,its pretty much an extension of the cylinderbore.

Im out of this now,i have given my opinion on this and hope 1Badcolt will find a good solution to his build,i bet it will run great once done nomather what solution is chosen.:)
