How quick are you wanting to go? I have always run pretty similar grinds 280-292@.050 114LC and anywhere from .720 to .780 lift

Spud Miller's Cave / Re: Injection recommendation??
« on: January 13, 2021, 06:36:13 PM »Paul,
Man everywhere else I see people saying with a blower not to run compression over 12. This block is zero decked and I have a set of 2 eyebrow flat tops. I was thinking I'd have to buy new Pistons because it seems even with a 72cc head my compression yields 12 something to 1.
Oh xxxx I read this way to fast and missed the 6-71 part yes do not go that high my bad!!!
I run 10.5-1 on my 387” AJPE SBC. I would stay in that range you have a pretty large tuning window. I do know when I was running 23 degree stuff I ran up to 11.2-1. My old canted valve 387” was 10.5-1 also Greg Means ran this combo and I believe he still has the heads and intake for sale they make big power real easy.

Injected or carburetor on alky I would go as high of compression you can obtain 14-1 should be super easy 15-1 if you can get it

Welcome as far as style there are a lot of thoughts out there of what is right. First item is how fast do you want to go, how big of a crew do you have, then it comes down to what you want your car to look like such as low, mid, or high seat car.

Everyone wants to buy the next best thing! Seriously though I have been thinking about buying the Baileigh TN250 my notcher is a nice JD2 but I see times where I would like some of the features of the Baileigh. Have fun with the build of your car

« on: August 30, 2020, 04:07:17 PM »Is it a Chevy II L79 block if it is, it’s worth some big bucksThe id pad has some numbers on it. I looked at all the block id sites. Couldn't find the number/letters that mine has on it. Someone might have decked it and re-stamped, not sure. It does have all GM parts in it.
Have most of the engine put back together. Stopped here today.
It’s not a Chevy II block I can tell by the oil filter boss. Looks like a good find though
