Tell me...

the difference between a TPI shortblock 350 and an 89 Suburban 350. More specifically the volume of the pistons between the 2. Got a nice set of 64cc heads and I would be putting in a decent cam instead of the truck cam that is in it. Ballin with the 305 and 150 shot just ain't cutting it anymore, and I've got a chance to pick up a complete short block on the cheap...just to last me for a while.

Re: Tell me...

Have your heads shaved 0.030", use Fel-Pro steel shim head gaskets, you'll have compression over 9.5:1.
