I am scared to run quench that tight. I always shoot for a minimum of .040. I ran a 350 years ago with about .030, (piston was about .010 above the deck), and it was an .025 gasket. I remember it looked loke the pistons may have kissed a chamber or 2.

I was never able to find a custom length pushrod for less than $90. I am never lucky enough to be at the 7.190 length. I always seem to need 7.250 or 7.150.

I actually meant to say .040", the gasket would be .030" MLS type + .010" in the hole.

Hrmm. 7.195 has worked for me (comp 7808) in the past with trickflow heads, and sportsman-II heads. Your running AFR, right?


My 412 is a non-oe roller of course, so the body height may screw me up on the pushrods too. Then again, the cam is cut on a 1.050" base circle, so I guess we will find out.
