Re: couple questions on my 398 lt1

I'm with these guys... you need more RPM for that compression ratio. Problem is you better have some strong parts in the bottom end. I don't really like solid rollers unless you fix the lifter bore placements in the block... that's just one more way to make the things live.

How about you just fill in:

Chamber Volume
Piston Volume (-5cc for example on flat tops)
Head Gasket
Zero Deck or Deck Height

Re: couple questions on my 398 lt1

That changes things a bunch!

The JE pistons you refer to (shelf set) are -5cc. With that data & the variables you have given (using the KB calculator) I get 13.8:1 static and 10.26:1 DCR.

That's why we have to be careful with posts like this...

Either way... you have what you have & I got your PM. Actually need to get back to some other PM's (sorry guys) so I'll get with you ASAP.

Love the Duckworth quote Bret.

I wonder what Kenny Duttweiler would say about that one.

Yeah, I'm sure your one of the few people who know who he is too!

13.6:1 sounds much more in line with what I was thinking.

I'd put the actual IVC around mid 80's to get you just under 9:1 DCR

Re: couple questions on my 398 lt1

Using the IVC of 73*@.006 as quoted on Comp's site for the 306 I get 13.83 static and 9.86 DCR.

No,it's about 8:15Pm.
A bigger cam will help the situation a bunch and the 396 will eat a big cam up and keep the revs down. Keep in mind I am not talking in the 280/290 range but in the 250/260range on a 108+4 or possibly a 112+4 will get it done.
His heads probably will want a bunch of lift and some pretty long duration IMO.

Then you have a miscalc nested in there somewhere. What is your calculated dynamic stroke length?

AFAIC, I'd cam it to spin 7200 and put the right fuel in it to keep it from going over the edge. Enough octane can cure just about anything.... for a while.

You are right. I didn't put the +4 on the cam.

Yes, but it isn't ground in it's the placement of the drive dowel pin.

Re: couple questions on my 398 lt1

Then you HAVE heard of it!



And that SCR sounds ALOT more realistic! I was thinking, "damn, how'd he get 15:1??"!!
