Great info guys ...BUT....heres the deal...I live in northern Ontario Canada and good parts are really rare, took me 3 months just to find the heads that i finally found. Accually i ended up buying 2 complete engines out of 2 older Lincons for $200.00 a peice ( incase i blow one engine up ...lol) I totally understand what your saying about the lower compression, and yes it would be great to have more. Ive boughten some parts out of the states from Jegs etc. but the shipping ends up costing me more than the parts...lol. So with that said, I guess it would be cheeper and easier to go with a set of domed piston then..right? I used to race modified dirt track cars here and in Wisconson and Minnisota so it wasnt hard not to have to pay the shipping..lol
- So i should be going with forged pistons then Paul?
- The 3500 stall was what was recomended by Edelbrock, you think a 3500 stall is to high?..what do you recommend Paul?
- I do plan on using after market bolts in the rods
- What valve mods are needed on the D3VE heads Paul?
- The flat top pistons was ( emphisize WAS before talking to you guys ..lol) the choice because of price and availability.
- just incase your wondering, the tunnel ram and carbs are because ive had this intake and carb sitting around for quit some time...might as well put it to use.
- Im already a subscriber to Reincarnation techinspector 1 but thanks for that info anyways. and yes the man is good.
You Guys Are The Best. Thanks for all the info, and NOOOO im not finished picking your brains,...lol

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
