increasing compression

Ok, I knew what the difference between a slant and SB is, I just didn't follow what he was referring to in reference to my post....still don't.

This thread is about apples (slant 6) and your talking about oranges (small block).

Why are you talking about oranges,when the thread is about apples ?

To the OP. Yes,you can shave the block,or head,or both.
You will have to do the math to keep the compression where you want it.
