Thanks DWB, Im not sure what relationship quench plays in this? Can anyone elaborate? Always trying to learn
So I played with numbers a bit. I substituted new pistons in the 70 block. The new pistons I was looking at were these Sealed Power from Summit https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/slp-526ap30
The compression comes out pretty much the same. 8.8:1
With the 70 block I get the steel crank, and its already bored .030" over.
So when compared with the 83 318(stock bore) the extra .030 doesnt gain me much as mentioned earlier.
Also with the new Sealed Power pistons, the compressed height is 1.745". So Im gaining on the TRWL2373 which is 1.672.
I wonder if there is a weight difference between the SP pistons and the TRW? I dont want to get into a balancing issue. Which means more machining/$$$
Thanks all
