318willrun - I understand you used the 8553's for a true head comparison, but do you have any way to quantify the results? Was it run at the track or dyno prior to the swap?

I made several runs at the track. It ran, in decent weather, 13.3's consistently with mid 1.8 60 ft times.
 
I’m curious if you measured how far below deck the pistons are and if you measured the dish depth. Dish diameter is 3.13 on everything I’ve measured myself and checked out in catalogs. The depth on most re-man pistons runs between 050-.0705, but I’ve seen factory depth close to .080 + or minus .005. Yours look to be .050 deep @ 6.3 cc’s of volume, and the .0705 deep dish has a volume of 8.9 cc’s. Those Felpro 8553PT gaskets usually have a compressed thickness of .051 for an 11.6 cc volume.

The video moparmandan posted is the most recent. I just tore it down a couple days ago. It's almost back together. I threw a few minutes at it today, hopefully I get a few more minutes tomorrow and it should be close to running.

You will faster than me for sure. How can us stock guys compete with dual quads and spray! Haha
 
Just remember regarding head gaskets you're not always looking for the thinnest compressed thickness. If you're after trying to get quench, then maybe, but if you're looking to add a little more compression, look at the compressed volume. The smaller that is, the more compression a given gasket can offer. Due to differences in the gasket bore size, the thinnest compressed thickness isn't always the one that adds the most compression.

Give credit where credit's due... 318 will jump in any threat of mine right out of the gate and thro monkey wrenches quicker than you can say slowest stroker on the internet...
