So, finally getting around to building a "beater" engine to develop my race car project (been idle too long). The idea is to build a reliable, decent engine that's not crazy expensive to sort out my car, then put in the expensive engine when the chassis is ready. I will only use race fuel with this engine.
Basic specs are:
Now, the question... should I source 0.220" or larger shims to drop the CR at the expense of deck height? A shim of 0.220" will drop the CR to 10.4:1, but raises the deck height to 0.050" Thoughts? |

Hey Kevin, I just saw this post. Hope you're doing well. Good to see you surface.
Are you going to hit the track with the 914 when racing starts back? Is Ford Motorsports letting you go do your own racing for while? Since you're running race fuel I'd stay with the 1mm deck and 10.7:1. |
