But the KB400 isnt designed for the 516 head either is it ? And when figuring compression your not calculating at zero deck, your adding the positive displacement of the dome.
But yes I understand how the flat portion of the piston needs to be at zero deck to properly measure how many CCs the...
Im a body guy not an engine builder. Its a legitimate question. Isnt the dome still to big for a closed chambered head ? Especially if the dome sits out of the bore ?
To use a different carb you may need to open the holes up a bit to clear the throttle blade of a aftermarket carb
I know the Edelbrock 600 will clear a 67 383 intake, But its smaller then the stock carb. I like to use stock stuff myself, Theres plenty of power in there with some tuning. You...
How do you get zero deck with a domed piston ? Its going to have a positive deck height because of the dome. Is the dome going to clear the closed chamber of the heads ?
Piston choice for 383s are limited, You would be best off getting something custom made if your really worried about quench...
A big heavy car with low compression, keep the cam small. What size rear tire are you running ?
I would look at the Comp Cams XE256 or 262 or the Voodoo equivalent.
I would say it would probably be in the 120 range if its stock. They have pretty low compression ratios, like low 8s.
Whats more important is that you have the same psi across the cylinders.
I'm pretty sure that my wife wouldnt like me putting parts in the oven. I have cleaned parts in the dish washer before. Amazingly enough, she didnt care at all.
I actually got that lid of an old dump truck. It was a cheap chrome one that all the chrome had flaked off. I sprayed it with wrinkle black but I can never get it to wrinkle right.
