349 CI on the cheap

As for the chambers they have been in the .095 to .105 in chamber depth stock,

So now we have a positive deck of .041 with the gasket in place, or

For this cam the pistons will have to be notched, so we notched them .200 as the pistons are forged and are .400 thick.

Now we have a actual net lift of .540.

So with the valve reliefs we should have .100-.130 valve to piston clearence depending on the gasket thickness.

Hi Bobby

Ive quoted the important bits, but I cant figure how you have enough P-V clearance.

You have a net lift of .540, but by my reckoning, you only have:

Chamber depth of .095 less + deck of .041 = .054

+ piston notches of 200th = .254th clearance.

Call me dumb but how will the valves not hit the slugs if the lift is over twice the clearance??
