New 418 stroker

Just curious: What head gasket thickness went in this engine? With .040" off the deck, and if the pistons are what I think (standard Diamond stroker pistons with CH = 1.457"), then they would protrude around .020" above deck. DCR would be in the mid 9's with a .055" head gasket.

With that number of cubes, and if that DCR is correct, low RPM torque is gonna be very high, so it may not be your son!

NICE rear suspension. Have you pushed on the side at the rear of the car to see how much side wiggle back and forth you can get?
