BJ will likely have it at his shop anyway.

I just crawled out from under your car... besides what we discussed, I just noticed you have a rear exhaust mount broken. We'll weld that up.

Anyway, thanks for donating your car to the cause. I'd love to get a Texas dyno day put together. I'm especially interested in your car, because it seems to out motor everyone else--even the 88 high compression motors.

If verified true...

I agree, but like you said, it would need to be verified.

Is it possible to deck the block enough to meaningfully raise compression on these engines? Would that be a financially viable substitute for head shaving that when using the late head with LC pistons would yield the best of both worlds (combustion chamber shape + compression) without HC pistons? Does the head thickness check take into account block decking?

I would recommend against decking the block for a number of reasons, but to answer your question, no the current check doesn't account for decking the block.

As inefficient as these motors are, I don't think changing the cylinder head compression chamber shape will amount to any actual performance change. Again, only testing will tell us.
