OK bear with me here because i'm trying to get a ballpark idea without having all the information. The engine i'm building will be a 347ci, 4.30 bore, 5.4 rod 3.4 stroke. The rotating kit i want want has -5cc flat top pistons that would yield 10.8 compression w/ 64cc heads. It is an eagle all forged from summit, doesn't have anything about head gasket thickess. I have no clue about what thickness head gasket to run anyways, or to be honest how to even calculate this. I'm going to have a pro do most of the work but want to be knowlegable about things. I bought a set of new Victor JR's that have 60cc chambers. I tried online calculaors, didn't have all the info. I know i will be over the pump gas octane which i don't mind. The closest i found was a -3cc was around 11.2 to 1 roughly. It didn't say what size head gasket. My question is would -5cc be more or less compression? Any help would be greatly apprciated. Boss block also
Naturally aspirated, the compression is gonna be too high for nos or a sc, for me anyway,lol. I would be super happy with 450ish horse at the motor, i think thats conservative and very obtainable. Been building the car for two years now and its a roller and i'm finally ready for the drivetrain. The Boss block will give me the ability to go other routes, that's why i'm keeping it at 30 over for now.
hey thanks that calculaor gave me a static compression of 1.38, do i times that times 8, i dunno if so that gives 11.04. That's by me putting in a .40 gasket.
I was wondering what the heck you meant Mcnally351,lol. No worries, was half asleep myself but was going crazy trying figure out compression calculators. I like the color of your stang too.
