349 CI on the cheap
Hey Guys - as Bobby says, I have a flat 13sec 349 at 10.2:1 comp.
My problem all along has been Piston to Valve clearance at zero deck.
I can tell you that even with my fairly mild .495 lift [email protected] cam and lightly skimmed 360 open chamber heads, , my valves hit the slugs big time, and we had to do some 'shade tree" cuts in the slugs to get away without dis-assembling the engine.

Bobby - How deep did you notch those slugs of yours, because I was "advised" by United Engines that i shouldn't notch the Silvolite cast slugs at all when I was considering rebuilding the 349......
