congrats on the build. i'm in for a new engine as well. i hope everything goes smooth on my rebuild, too.
Pulled up your Youtube clip. Sounds awesome! I don''t remember if you said it earlier in your thread, but what is the Compression Ratio (CR)? Also, what octane do you use? Absolutely beautiful ride! Love the console in her as well! Congrats on such a fine Maverick!
Thanks for the compliments! Compression ratio is around 10:1, give or take a few fractions of a point. The chambers in these GT40 heads are known to have some mild variation in volume from the factory and I didn't measure them. They are supposedly 60cc but could be anywhere from 58-62... Whatever it is, I know I can't run 87 octane without pinging. I've been running 93 so far, haven't tried 89 yet.
