The pistons are -20cc. Engine should be about 9.2 or 9.3-1. No higher than 9.5 and no lower than 9.0.

Also, bump. I took it home today.

They will work if you grind away the little "ear" on the back of the alternator. I've seen it done before.

Sounds great. I like that you went mild on the camshaft. I'm sure the Procharger will more than make up for that.

Nice build, although I figured you would have decked it having popped a head gasket. Any port work on the heads?

However it was nice of 96capricemgr to help transport your motor home.

Did not want to zero deck the block. Compression is a bad thing in this engine. As for the heads, no port work either.

I'm not saying zero deck, obviously since it's a boosted motor, but just to make sure the surface was true. I'm sure you'll be fine.

I like the valve covers, black and red always looks nice on these motors.
