| RE: compression ratios? |

You're going to lose compression with the C6AE-R heads.
A good piston for that purpose, with those heads, would be Sealed Power 381P. Inexpensive, (compared to flattops) and rated at 10.1:1, IIRC, which would be a little less with those heads.
What intake/carb setup you have? The -R heads will flow well, if you have the right intake.
Just remember that you'll be changing the exhaust port height, if you do switch heads. Not sure, but I think there's abot a 1/2 inch of difference in heights.
Dave Shoe knows this one real well, and can explain it better than I, but basically your exhaust will develop leaks quickly, I believe, if you're running stock manifolds, or the wrong headers. |
