Yes and no and with more and/or less compression.
Confused?
Hers why.....
As well as the above mentioned head material, aluminum or iron, you left out the other important items starting with the cam. And to a lesser degree, the cars weight, converter, gears etc.... and why is that important, it’s the whole package that also effects the front part on back to the rear z
Back to the engine part of it and the second most important part of “why?” Or “can I “ or “is it possible“ to get it to work.
The real upfront issue is what your willing to accept. Timing of the distributor and available fuel is the other components of the question.
If there is to much compression you’ll need to up the octane and/or retard the distributor timing.
In a word, you need balance!!!
