Both have anemic compression ratios and would greatly benefit from bumping them up. Do you need an engine?


I am looking at ratios for the drivetrain before I pull the trigger on purchase. We have 6% grades around here for miles and I want to be in 3rd at ~60mph and 2400 rpm, but there is some leeway if the torque is flat.
The 413-1 runs really well, but as you say has 7.5-1 pistons. I did add cold air snorkel and HEI.
