Naaah Mike,
You don't want to use that lil 1098.
You want a 1275.
If you want I'll drag the 1098 away for ya....
:-)
I have a worked up 1275 12g940 head,
but you'd probably need to use dished pistons with it,
as it's been shaved and reportedly would give you a 12.5:1 CR with flatops.
AS far as the shelving project, I get that response too for some projects too,
LOL.
Good Job!!

builder years ago. Does this switch make any sense? The 1098 engine has a
hot cam and maybe some other goodies as well, so maybe it is best to use it
as-is?

The floor is subject to hurricane tides, so I took everything out, put in six
2'x8' shelves against the walls, sorted the BE parts by type (duplicates of
duplicates, condition unknown), and put it all back. I was hoping to get
points from my wife, but all I got was, "It's about time!"
