Small block heads

I have some milled 2.02 J-heads on my 318. My chambers are now 56cc's and let me have a 9.7:1 compression ratio on the .030 'teen. The 2.02 isn't the best choice for the small bore, but since I got the heads for free I wasn't about to buy another pair for smaller valves. It may give a bit of a soggy bottom end with the bigger valves...but it depends on your combo.

My motor has the rest of the drivetrain working with it to overcome any lack of power/bottom end from the bigger valves. 3000rpm converter, low gear set in the trans and a set of 3.91s out back help it get out of the hole and rev, hopefully into the high 13s on my next outing.

Hope i could help some
