Hey Guys,
Sorry it's taken so long to reply. I thought I subscribed to this, but I guess I didn't! Let me see if I can answer all the questions.
The head has been decked only 25 thou
The gasket thickness, I have no idea. I guess I could measure it and see?
I had the cam reground by Delta Cams. Nice guys
I do have a saginaw 4 speed and 3.55 rear end gears.
When I got the core, it had the 848 head on it originally, but no steam holes drilled. I ended up doing it. The block and head was maged and check out ok.
I have a copy of that 1955 HRM with that article and have read it front to back. Some of the info is sketchy, but I do get most in principle. I'm not sure I want to start playing with Cams at this point, but if it's the only way to make some extra power without touching the head, then maybe that's the route i'll take
I am glad somebody has 'confirmed' that while Cliffords magic head is long past, I do wonder what gain I would get by installing larger valves and if it's worth it?
