Coming back with a build! Need advice!
moper, I think he is using the 383 crank and is right at 10.47 compression. The dynamic compression calculator that I use has him right at 8.8:1 with that cam and I believe that could cause him problems.
Yes, not enough time to do a stroker, just want to drive it so I'm rebuilding the stock 71 383.
Again how will the higher compression hurt using the dome pistons?
