    pretty sure you guys don't and play by play activities by me , but I'm compelled to update. Ordered the heads from Jegs last night. Took the pistons and rods to get swapped out to Tim Wilkerson's machine shop this morning. His shop boss said he'd try to have them done by Friday.

    And Shorty can live with that. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but! 11.0-1. is " not ! " what I want, at all. Got a couple things I'm looking at getting done to [ hopefully !!!!!! ] give you guys more input.

    Well. I got .025 with the 383 piston when I checked it. The tech also recommended a .050 composite head gasket to keep CR around 10.5-1. Now if he's wrong, and your right! Then yeah me. Because that's a win/win for me.

    Can't tell you what I don't know. This is my " first time " I can say this " Tech said .050 Gasket thickness and said that would give a head chamber of .078 cc. Piston CC I am clueless. The others I am clueless. That's why I came in here . For guidance.

    What specs do you want? 1969 383, punched .070, pistons Silvo-lites 1276's @ from what I'm told CR is suppose to be around 8.5, from what I just looked up it's 8.0. Now mind you that's with a 440 block. I'm not using a 440 block however. I'm using a Lo-block 383 with stock 383 crankshaft. I'm...

    273, he said he grabbed his calculation charts and calculated 10.5-1 up to 11.0 to 1 with the pistons I plan on using. No zero decking mentioned. That blew my mind. Literally. Was not expecting that at all.

    What's your thoughts about the 906 heads? I thought they were brought up in here somewhere, but as luck would have it, I couldn't find . Heck, maybe I'm wrong. I uploaded the 906 head I took off the 383. I think you'll look in disbelief. Block's not cracked, heads not cracked, Valve didn't go...
