Still at it today. Measured the deck clearance with the dial indicator. Came out to .037. CC'd one of the chambers and got 74 cc's. Installed the cylinder heads, lifters, push rods and a new set of rocker arms. Then installed the intake. It weighs a ton! I think it was almost as heavy as one of the cylinder heads.

Worked out the calculations for compression ratio and it comes to 10.78 to 1. It should be "peppy" as Gramma used to say.
