NEED info on 10.5:1 pistons
Hey all. I just got a line on
a set of piston heads with rings.....10.5:1 CR. I have 2 blocks at my
disposal....a JH 8.5:1 and a 1.8 16v bottom end 10:1. Other than checking for
severe wear......which block would be better suited?? The heads are made for the
81mm bore.......and both these fit that bill. I don't want to run the KS so 94
octane is available and would be run....as well as a recurve dist. Can anyone
advise as to what may be involved in a new piston head option?? Other than take
out old pin.....put in new one....I need info like how much wear will be
acceoptable to facilitate non-boring for the new pistons.............and so
forth. And can anyone ballpark a power number with a 428/280 cam, header,
2" exhaust, recurve dist bigger TB and the new CR ??? I am guessing
at 140 without any P&P work or the other sweet stuff that will likely happen
later during the build. Soooo, hoping there are some real tech heads out there
willing to listen to ideas and help with what they know or have done. Unless the
list wants to hear the advice and possible outcome.........we'll do this
privately. Thanks.
