Hey!
I need to decrease the distance from the quench blocks on my pistons (440) to the open chamber head flat. The piston flat is down .030" in the block, so I can't decide whether to zero deck the block or just mill the heads the .027" I need to get my .035" squish/quench with a .022" steel shim head gasket.
Do you have an opinion on this? I have measured everything with dial indicator and burette, so am confident in my numbers.
This is just a hot street engine in a '69 Dart, approx. 10.5:1 depending on the final volumes, iron block and heads, forged steel h-beam rods with floating pins, and KB Hyperutectic quench block pistons, .509" 292 old school cam.
Thanks!
