You couldn't have 15:1 compression, but you probably would need a cam with lot of duration, or.....????
How would you build such a motor ?
Big heads, low compression ?



You not going to do it with factory lifter placement and factory cam tunnel. Would need a staggered lifter pattern in block, preferably a keyway lifter. also would do it with a 55-60 cam with roller bearings.
