Quote: my , too much compression, short cam, no quench; sorry, it'll never work.
I'm using a 440-6 w/ ported 516 74cc heads (2.14/1.81) and a MP 528 solid. Haven't driven the car yet but so far no problems. I think my compression is a tad higher.
i have two iron head 6-pak engines and both are around 9.3:1 compression with good quench. the short cammed engine makes about 185psi cylinder pressure and has got a little "testy" with 93 octane on occasion. the other engine has a longer solid cam and about 165psi cylinder pressure; its a lot more forgiving with 93 octane. i'm not a believer in 10+:1 compression with iron heads and 93 octane gas, good quench or no quench. just a voice of experience.
, too much compression, short cam, no quench; sorry, it'll never work.
