I'm on the fence about if I'll leave the stock pistons in the engine or not. I likely have a set of L2289+.030" pistons coming my way for next to nothing,
Fortunately for inline engines, when changing pistons, if all the pistons weight the same it is essentially self balanced.
What is the angle of the valves?
Our 194-292 engines, the valves are at a shallow angle less than 24*
When we use SBC pistons, the valve reliefs are in the wrong spot, & we really do not need any reliefs & can run flat tops (w/no valve reliefs) up to a certain lift & duration camshaft.
There is a mile of clearance, wondering if the Poncho 6 has a lot of room also?
