My 318 out of my Scamp is currently at the machine shop getting checked and bored. I was wondering if anyone here has built a 318 and if they would go with zero deck or just leave the clearance stock? I will be using KB 167 .30 over pistons, stock length SCAT forged rods, file to fit rings, 360 Magnum heads with a mild port and polish and a Comp 280H cam. This will be a mostly street driven car but I want good reliable power. I thought about leaving the stock deck clearance and build compression up with a tighter ring gap and a thinner head gasket, but I think the zero deck with a standard .040 installed head gasket will produce better power. I am just looking for opinions and advice, thank you all in advance.
