Reply to "Question about heads and valves."

Thanks Dave. I will do that. I can always buy valves if they don't fit.

Larry, you are right but I already asked George about that and he said that the engine I got now is running about 8 to 1 ratio because it has dished pistons and open chamber heads with lots of room. By putting on the quench heads, they won't quench because I would have to shave off some of the block if I wanted it do that, but it would raise the compresion ratio to about 9 to 1. That would mean I could no longer run regular gas and would have to start using premium, but I drive the car so little the cost factor is not a real show stopper. George say it will only add maybe a few horsepower and probably wouldn't notice the difference, but it is going back to the original heads that came on the car so at least there is that. I am not going for gobs more horsepower, just a little bit extra is all.
