67fastback2+2 Journeyman Posts: 92 From: Pennsville,New Jersey Registered: Oct 2001	posted 03-05-2002 08:08 AM I am getting these results: 12-1 From Mustang and Fords, 11.3-1 From Ford Muscle and 9.5-1 From KB Calulators I can't understand the differences. These are my #'s Bore = 4.065 Stroke = 2.906 Top of piston to deck = .03 Flycuts in piston = 6 cc Combustion chamber = 46.5 cc Compressed gasket = .04 I have spent hours with different formulas on different sites tring to work this but I could use some help. Above are the base #'s thanks for any Advice!!! Pete IP: Logged

bluestreek Gearhead Posts: 1228 From: Athens,GA Registered: Jul 2001	posted 03-05-2002 11:24 AM Your stroke number (2.906) and your deck clearance (.030) seen to be a little strange. Are these correct? .030 deck clearance plus .040 gasket clearance would give a total of .070 quench, which is kinda high for good combustion properties. Anyway, I got 10.17:1 c/r given all numbers are correct and using 4.065 gasket bore diameter. BS IP: Logged

Yes, I used a digital micrometer belonging to my machinest for the stroke and deck height(measured two sides then used the middle #). For the bore a published 4.005 then added .060 for the overbore. Thanks again!!! Pete http://67fastback2-2.mustangsandmore.ws/ IP: Logged
