I ran a small block at .030" quench at 12.2:1 on pump. Get the 440 up around .040" quench and 11:1 with that much cam and you'll be ok.

Worse case you have to take a couple of degree's of timing out of it.


It would be easier to just use Cometic .027 gaskets but I don't think he would get away with 11:1 Iron heads on 93.

To the OP--do you know your cam's intake closing degree BTDC?
