ANOTHER small block question(318)

-
I forgot to mention that the cam you listed is a decent street strip cam. I can see it working OK with the 3.73's and not more than a 26" tire with the right stall converter behind it. You'll need to up the compression a good bit to 10-1 max for pimp gas.
 
I was looking at the KB pistons, they're probably in the butter zone for compression but Summit is having a sale of Sealed Power 1.759 pistons for $53.99 :blob: . That's probably around 9:1, right?
 
I don't know. What is the compression height of the KB slug, your cylinder head cc amount, gasket thickness and bore along with where the piston sits in the cylinder
? How many cc's (if any) are the valve reliefs in the slug?
 
Height of the KB is 1.810", the Sealed power is 1.579"
heads around 72 cc (I think they're 340-X, haven't checked the casting)
bore is .030 overbore, 3.940, I should think
I'll probably be running a thin set, I believe either Felpro or Mr. Gasket sells one with .028" thickness, If I remember correctly.

I can't find cc's for the piston, so Flat top will be an approximation.

If I end up paying more for the engine then I plan on I think I'll just run the intake on it.
