Project Maverick. I feel the need, the need for speed
I bet it feels like a kid counting down the days until Christmas
So, has your guy calculated compression ratio? With pistons that high I am curious??

Yes he is doing the three angle grind.
Static compression ratio is at 10.2:1
Stock deck to piston is about 0.060" in the hole and the gasket approximately 0.044"

You're using KB pistons, correct? What part #? That should be a good cr for pump gas. Anything milled or decked? Great thread btw. I love the play by play at the machine shop. You rarely get to see that.

He was saying they're usually pretty far in the hole stock.

I'm using stock type replacement pistons from SealedPower. Block was bored 0.030" and decked to allow pistons to be at 0.006" above deck for improved quench factor. This also changes the 9.5:1 static compression to slightly over 10:1 which allows it to run on good quality pump gas. I generally run 94 octane as it contains 0% ethanol and stays in the tank better over longer periods of non use, ethanol attracts moisture is is hard on other components over time. I have 91 octane available along with lower grades and they all contain 10% ethanol. I'll run 91 if 94 isn't available as not all stations have it, only Chevron does.

Good old clearance issues with the Harland Sharps. Problem solved though and the pushrods length has been determined at 6.7" and will use Comp Cams 7771-16. Should have the engine loaded in the back of my truck this Wednesday

That push rod length seems awful short.

It is the correct length for the machine work that has been done. Block is zero decked which accounts for the difference in the lenght along with some other factors. Mine will not be the same as yours.

I ordered SD1002 rockers custom machined for extra valve spring clearance direct from Harland Sharp and they ended up being like 5 bucks cheaper (before shipping) than buying the regular ones through Summit or Jegs. They were awesome to deal with.

Harland Sharp converted my HD rockers to run 7/16" studs for 50 bucks plus shipping. Great guys.

Have some questions about getting your block decked. Was this your idea or machine shop? What kinda extra time/money was involved in doing this? From reading everything I can, I can only guess you needed to do this because you wanted a bump in compression and it was needed. What type of power gain do you expect by doing this?
