<VV> 140 W/PG Compression

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

I have two sets of reworked 140 heads ready to use.   I am building a 140 
to go into a '65 sedan with PG and AC.
Base block is going to be a OT10 cam, nitrided std crank.   Pistons are 
.040 over TRW with .070 milled  in a D-shape cut off the top portion by 
the valves to 
reduce C/R 
but still 
allow good quench area (thanks again Craig).


I have one set of heads that has had the gasket step milled off completely 
and one 
set where they have been cleaned up and about half the gasket step is 
left.

I am trying to decide which set to run.   The CR will be lower with the 
set that has half the step removed, but the quech will not be as good. 
The other the CR will be higher, but will have a good quench of .032 from 
the head gasket. IIRC when I ran these heades before true CR was 9.75:1 
(with flat top pistons).


Both sets are ready to go with new deep seats, valves, 
guides, de-flashed.

What say those who have run this setup?   I have taken forever getting 
parts for this engine built, and have two more engines in parts ready to 
go.  Any drastic changes I should make?

Thanks
