Thread: A few build questions

Thanks for the link Maro, I've added it to my favorites.

Alright. Given the Edelbrock Aluminum Performer RPM heads (60899)

64cc combustion chamber
170cc intake port volume
2.02 / 1.60 valves

With a .040 Fel-Pro head gasket, and assuming the standard deck high of .035

This will drop me about 9.5:1 compression right, with a quench of .075 (I dont know what the compressed hight of the gaskets are, much less?)

Would either of the cams I have onhand be good with this combination? And, with aluminum heads, would I be looking at detonation with this high quench?

I might just man up and buy a set of these heads.
