sweet!!! looks like you had some bad oil in the first motor. kinda dark looking but new setup looking sweet as hell. that 11.5 will really help with your DCR. have you figured that out yet? anything around or over 8.5 is tits

Contacted some people and it’s actually between 12.0 and 12.5:1 static compression ratio. Dynamic compression ratio is between 8.5 to 8.7:1. Probably closer to the lower, but I don’t have the actual cylinder head chamber volumes. There’s a shocker, a measurement that I actually skipped.

Very cool man! You obviously put a lot of time and thinking into your work and I’m sure it’ll show when it’s all finished up.

Short story - driver’s side valve cover wouldn’t bolt up right, passenger side hit the rocker arms. Sent back to Canton to get fixed, bolt up now, and doesn’t hit rocker arm, but the alternator doesn’t clear.
Moved alternator and back in business on getting the engine running. Pretty aluminum. Thanks Pewter for the hardware for the template.
