Reply to "Compression too high?"

Thanks George. I think you are on the right track about the stock crank with an offset grind. I say that because my crude measurements showed a 3.674 stroke which is quite a bit off from what is being sold today. I will pass this information along to Clay Smith Engineering.

Regarding cam specs, I think I will proceed with what I have for now. Clay Smith is saying that the cam is appropriate for the car. I plan to test the engine on a stand and will scrutinize manifold vacuum. If it is too low then I may change cams right then. Otherwise, maybe try it in the car once it is rolling. If it precipitates suicidal thoughts then I will go back to Clay Smith for something different. They might be able regrind what I have now.
