What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Cleaned up the sharp jagged casting edges on the over the cam ovals so it is nice to work in there, now and future.
Then got to pondering . . .
8.0 to 8.5 stock compression ratio on this stock 360 short block. Maybe I should put these 318 open chamber heads on with the 360 valves installed I have here on it to boost compression closer to 9.0:1.
Good low end torque engine, I have an LD4B intake to match up to the heads, 340 SPD-22 grind Melling cam. I barely take them over 4,000 rpm. But I do like that low end torque . . 360 stroke. Spare engine for my '76 truck if I want to go hot rodding around. Or a spare engine period.
Stock '91 318 roller in the truck now. Very Happy with that, but what if ???
Hmmmm . . . .
What if . . .
318 big valve heads:
Matching up the thin .028 ths Mr Gasket 318 head gaskets on the 360 short block.
Plenty of room here:
Price of fuel, more compression equals better efficiency. More miles per gallon, if you keep your foot out of it..
Power waiting there when you need it too.
Lol . . .
Hmmmmmm . . . . .
