LA 318 advice
That’s a question as to how much it can be decked? As I mentioned if I could square it and be .020 above the pistons, which average .100 right now, can the intake be matched, will the block be stable? Saves near 500 in rings and pistons and balancing the newer pistons, I understand the KBs are 40-50 grams lighter.
I figure (in my mind) squaring the block vs more cutting the cost would be close. Then intake milling.
Vs 500 in pistons and rings and balancing.
I don’t need the Hyperuetic pistons, other than they come with 1.81 compression height. But deck still needs to be milled for a decent SCR with the open chambered heads I have.
Using newer style closed chambers, probably means spending additional time/cost at the machine shop to go through them, plus the heads themselves.
I’m not shooting for a “quench” as I don’t need/want a high compression engine.
So if the deck can be cut say .080, and if the intake can be adjusted to suit it, I’d be fine with that and save some dollars.
