Reply to "Engine performance"

I tested the engina out of the car. The dish pistons were the only standard bore I could find. I re-sleeved all 8 holes because I went through 2 other blocks that were standard bore that would not clean up and would have been to thin after boring. Unfortunately I have learned a few things about Cleveland engines the hard way. It more than likely has less than 9 and 1/2 to one compression so it will run good on this crappy California gas. The engina sounds cool, revs nice and looks fast (all show and no go). I wanted to use aluiminum heads with a matching intake and a differant rotating assembly, but almost everything is not avalible for the Cleveland. I'm going to build a Windsor like I should have in the first place, cheaper,lighter and parts are avalible.
