Building a 396 -- Pistons??
I have a 396 that I built a few years back. It has open chamber heads casting (3999241). It currently has Keith Black KB160 pistons (-17cc this only gives me about 8.5:1 compression). I have never been happy with the performance if this engine
and am thinking of pulling it to install TRW L2242F30 (-38.3cc) pistons in it. Does anyone know if I will have a problem with the pistons hitting the heads. I know these are closed chamber pistons but they give me the approx static compression ratio I'm looking for (about 10.4:1). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
