Now we will have it zero decked. It has flat top pistons (don’t remember brand) and now the slugs are about .050 - .075 down the bore. Crank has been balanced some time, there's signs of that.


What do you think fellows?


If the crank and bearings were wiped what do the piston skirts and cylinder walls look like ?

LOSE THE DEEP PAN , put a 70-71 hemi 6qt pan on it unless he wants this to happen again!


and DO NOT ZERO DECK THE BLOCK WITH THOSE PISTONS , by the time he pays to ruin an intake and make it only ever fit that block head combo and pay to take that much off the block and the china walls he would be well on his way to the correct parts and a better running engine .

As said smaller primary tube headers and a smaller CFM carb will make it more STREETABLE ...
