For $2500 it is a well thought out hunk of iron. The compression will be around 10.2:1 with the Edelbrock aluminum heads.
For sure, and I landed at the same measured static compression. EQ heads and the chambers ended up at 69cc.
If you get the 4 inch stroke Scat Crank and Scat PRO SERIES I-BEAMS rods it clears the block, NO GRINDING.
These rods have smaller bolt heads with no nut.
Yeah, had my block at the machine shop and notched before my kit arrived. My research and questions failed me on this item. On the plus side though, the block is ready for a longer arm if I'm so inclined.
