360 Machining Questions
Hey guys. I'm restoring my 75' f150. It's got the 360 FE which I am rebuilding and have stripped to the block. I know the easy thing would be to put a 390 crank and rods in it but I'm all about NOT always doing the easy thing and following in someone else s footsteps. Anyways I wanna build the 360 to be a nice mild running lil thumper(cause I've never seen it done). I want to zero deck the block to bring up my compression (hopefully 10:1) and get the quench a little more ideal (approx .040). I want to bore the block about .030 over cause there is a nasty little scratch in the #1 Cyl from a broken ring. My delima is that I need to install my new pistons to in order to get the exact deck clearance to know how far to deck the block. Problem with that is that I need to punch the holes out before I can temporarily install the pistons, I cant bore the holes before I deck the block because I want to use a torque plate cause if I did it would throw everything off. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks!
