Can someone please check my calculations for compression on my 318?
I plan on swapping in 920 heads from a 273 which *should* be around 63 cc. Keith Black 167 pistons *should* put me .02 in the hole. I plan on using .030 gaskets, and a .030 bore over job.
When I get a chance I'll cc the 920 heads, but until then I'm just going off other numbers I've seen posted.
When I plug all this in I get just about 9.5:1 which I understand is the best compression you can use and still avoid premium gas.
I also understand from research that the 920 heads flow as well as my stock '68 318 heads.
Oh and don't worry, the 920 heads are off a '66, so the intake bolt angles should be fine.
Thanks!
