compression question?
i plan on doing some work to my motor over the winter and had some questions someone may answer...
i had my motor rebuilt 2 years ago and i just had the pistons re ringed i was on a budget... now i've upgraded my 305 heads on my 350 to a set of double bump heads milled down to 60cc. its a a four bolt main 480 lift cam and airgap intake..
it currently has stock truck pistons with the dish and valve reliefs in them... i wanna put some good pistons and rods in it but am not sure what to run..i'd like around 10:1 compression but am not sure what pistons i need to get it.. the block hasnt been decked and i'm not sure what i'm running for comp now??? with a 60cc combustion chamber what kinda pison design do i need...how much should i bore it?? what kinda piston forged?hypertectic?? ohyea its stock bore...
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
