I have a stock bottom ls6. I want to put the 317 heads I have on to lower compresiion abit while I build my 6.0 block. how big (thick) can I go with a mls gasket. I know I cant get the compression to low with head gaskets. but with 317's and a thicker head gasket how low can I get it. I would like to get down to 9.2:1 if its possible.
thanks
thanks

i have used a couple of different compression calculators and some show 9.6 and some show 9.8. how much boost do you plan on running?

only thing left to figure out is if ls7 lifters are taller then ls1 lifters. if there the same I dont have to get different pushrods.
