I build 10.5:1 /6 engines pretty regularly. 93 octane and single plug. That's about the limit without going twin-plug, but all of them on the road have been fine.


Why don't I see this in Type 1 or Type 4 engines?

Some rough math suggests a 2.0 @ 8.5:1 is an 85hp engine, while the same engine at 10.5:1 would give almost 120hp.

When I mentioned the case, I should have elaborated - I was referring to installing case saver/inserts, the larger dia studs and the even extra studs to keep the heads secure. I've seen lesser compression pull head studs on stock cases (at least on T-1s).
