Starting the rebuild of of a Gen II Hemi. Are there any books that cover this in detail? Any tips and advice is welcome.
I agree. Also depends on how big and bad you are going with it. Mine may have gotten away from me abit.... Might be a little overkill.I just use a factory FSM.
Indy Cylinder Head 426-1 CNC 285 heads. Solid roller lifters, although I found a plunger for a hydraulic lifter in the oil pan today. Cam has a bad lobe on it. F1 Procharger at 10 PSI of boost.Aluminum heads? Roller cam? Stock oiling system? etc? FSM will be sort of a guide but you'll probably want to ask lots of questions on here.
First thing you will want to do is very carefully disassemble it and I would check all clearances, end plays etc. I would even write down every fastener torque value as you go and take a ton of photos. Don't throw away any old parts either, you may want to go back to them for reference before ordering new ones.
I now have it coming . Thanks.I have this book, I think you should buy it and read it a few times before turning any bolts. It goes into great detail. I forget how old it is, probably 10 years but it's relatively current, a lot of the old books aren't relative anymore.

Custom pistons. Call Diamond or Ross and see what they say.I have been looking around for a piston that will lower the compression. Not finding anything. Using summits compression calculator what they have will be close to 11:1. OK for N/A, but I would like to keep the blower and be safe.
What are ways to get the compression down to 9:1 or lower? Mill a few thousands off the dome?
You are looking at shelf pistons, you will need to expand your horizons and call piston manufacturers directly. They may, indeed, have a shelf flat top that Summit doesn't carry. Doubtful, but worth asking. A little tip, when you call, tell them your goal for comp and hp and listen to what they recommend. Use their expertise.I have been looking around for a piston that will lower the compression. Not finding anything. Using summits compression calculator what they have will be close to 11:1.
