9.0/1 Compression Ratio Engines
New guy here.
Was wondering if there's any information on 9.0/1 CR engine building?
I'm running a 462" late Buick (455 .030 over), very mild cam, shot-peened rods, forged pistons, roller rockers, balanced, 750 Edelbrock carb jetted for the altitude (3300'), 1 7/8" primary and 3 1/2" collector headers in a 32 roadster.
MSD 6AL and Mallory Unilite.
Starts easy, runs good and I really like being able to run 87 octane summer or winter.
Reason I ask is, I have another 455 Buick to build.
Thinking 9.5/1 CR on this one and a pair of Edelbrocks Aluminum heads should bring it just a touch over 10/1.
A pair of 500 cfm Carters go on this engine, headers and the rest of the build will be similar to the engine above.
This engine also goes in a street driven roadster.
Light cars and lotsa torque are a lot of fun.
Thought I'd ask about 9.0/1 CR builds to see if I'm overlooking something critical.
I did a search, but found nothing.
