360 crank in a 318 block

I have a set of new cast hyper pistons that are 3.940" (.030" over 318 ) that sit really low in the cylinder. They are flat tops and sit .154" below deck height with a 3.310" stock 318 stroke.

It would drop the initial static down to somewhere in the 7's on a 'teen. Good for boosting or something like this, where you are gaining it on the stroke. txstang84 actually figured that these pistons would put the deck height at .019 from zero with a 360 crank. With some milling, you could get it closer to zero. If you ran the Mr.Gasket #1121G's, you would have a quench of .047" without milling on a closed chamber head. Tighter with .010" shaved from the block.

I'd let those pistons go cheap. They could take some valve notching, no prob and work with this crank idea, if you wanted to pay someone to turn the crank and buff it. Hughes Engines rents out a valve notching tool that fixes itself on the engine and can even be used in the car, for a DIY deal, if you wanted to run a tall cam and advance.

I'm half tempted to try this, myself, on another car that I have, that I want to keep #'s matching, if I don't let these pistons go.
