6.0 w/ 317 heads
The 317 has a large combustion chamber at 76CC. It drops compression from 9.5 to 8.3 according to the internet/HOT ROD testing.
Anyone ever cut the heads to increase compression closer to 9.0 or would it be better to go with another head?
My first swap was a nightmare as everything was a 'the first time I ever did this' and nothing seemed to go as smooth as it does on TV. LOL
I got this 6.0 at a pretty good deal. I am not looking for an all out dragster but if I can get some solid/reliable power going in I won't be looking at a dogged motor when I am finished...and then trying to chase power from there.
Sort of researching and hoping someone has made the decision prior.
