how far down are the pistons from the deck at TDC?
Didn't measure, but they are right up there pretty close to the deck. Much better than what you'd normally see on a LA.how far down are the pistons from the deck at TDC?

My la was something like .08-.09 under IIRCI know they all differ, but on Matt's Magnum, the original pistons were .055 below. Still much better than the old low comp. 360s.
I have seen a few at .110+My la was something like .08-.09 under IIRC
That's about where my 318 was lol it was closer to .01 but stillI have seen a few at .110+
I didn't measure, but I don't think these were that far down the hole. If I had to guess, I'd say max of a spark plug gap.... .035 ?? I used Fel Pro Head gaskets 9898.I know they all differ, but on Matt's Magnum, the original pistons were .055 below. Still much better than the old low comp. 360s.

Here is the booger - I ordered new head bolts got small block chivy bolts I always re-used the head bolts on LA's, but they say on magnum's you should buy new???? Anyone know any different ???
I always knew you had a loose head bolt.......I didn't measure, but I don't think these were that far down the hole. If I had to guess, I'd say max of a spark plug gap.... .035 ?? I used Fel Pro Head gaskets 9898.

might sell you the 318 2bbl that came in the truck. Be a good back up to your 410 stroker, only a couple tenths slower?Motor number 2 of 3 in the budget build.....
You must be some kind of Wheeler dealer... You bought those play block Speedmaster heads to sell?.. what kind of profit were you thinking about on those?..might sell you the 318 2bbl that came in the truck. Be a good back up to your 410 stroker, only a couple tenths slower?
This hobby takes a lot of my money, always has. Whenever I get a chance to let the hobby pay for itself, I let it. I'll sell my BB SM heads 1000 shipped. they are 1205 at summit.You must be some kind of Wheeler dealer...

I already seen somebody sell a Speedmaster intake manifold for 175 plus shipping on here.. all that for 40 bucks...
thanks. I had heard they were, and apparently they aren't. I'll re-use them. My pocket book loves using parts I already have ! Owned about 8 magnums, but never took the heads off of one..... until now. All of them ran good in vehicles except the 5.2 and this 5.9 that I bought out of the vehicles. 5.2 has been on the stand for a while, and this 5.9 we recently just purchased.5.9 head bolts are not torque to yield bolts.
