    Compression is 11.34:1 and DCR is 8.08:1. (Should be able to run on 93)And im not building it for boost, just keeping it in mind. If I do boost it, some parts would be getting replaced, just not the main internals. And I would assume I that 1.2-1.4 hp per cubic inch is perfectly possible...

    496 Build

    Im wanting to make 496 built more for low end torque and run on pump gas. It would be used in a 81-91 Suburban 4x4(One of my fav vehicles). I have never built an engine before, but I have been around cars all my life as my dad is a mechanic. I think I listed everything I would need and think it...
