Now wonder the intake is so big it does not even come to the original valve reliefs. So in theory you could run a flat top piston.
Your right on the intake side, but it’s a maybe on the exhaust. The exhaust valve does line up with the relief so unsure if a flat top piston would allow the same clearance as I measured.
It looks close on the left side radially but the depth perception is off in this photo. That side is pretty high up but the pic is deceiving.
I’m going to clay all 8 pistons. I just want to be sure. If this was a GT40 combo with 100k miles on original springs, I wouldn’t be so confident in the clearances I have. Realistically, I’ll prob drive 1-2k miles on some pretty good springs and then stuff this all on a 347 stroker down the road
