Compression Ratio

    For all you people with k-codes that have rebuilt them recently what is the target compression ratio you shot for, and how did it work out for you?


    I will thinking in the 9.50-10.00 area would be good for 94 octane pumpgas...


    Also, it seems my rods have been kinda pieced together with numbers dumpilcated and missing on the stampings... the engine builder is suggesting I just put them in a box for now and run some equivelant Eagle Rods...


    What are your thoughts on this?


    And finally, are any of your running the COMP CAMS Nostalgic 289 HIPo Cam? I was going to go this route with some oiling ( centerhole lifters ) and stock sizes roller rockers...


    Thanks in advance for your advice...


    BTW this is for my 66 K GT 4spd 3.5rear

    Well, if you are going to run everything pretty stock, i.e., stock carb, exhaust, etc., you might want to target 10.75, give or take, with the one proviso;...Pertronix. Get their best product and it will fire, less misfire,

    oops, wasn't finished......the gas out there, especially if you use PRD-G in the tank to stabilize the quality, you can bear the slightly higher C/R and the sound and power is better.....IMHO...:D:D
