I see what you all are saying. I'm just kind of all over the place trying to figure out what I want to do. If I do go N/A, I would be changing the pistons and basically everything else except for the block, cranks and rods.

What I'm really trying to figure out is if I were to keep the quad rotor setup and go to some chevy heads, could I get away with not changing the pistons. That way, it would be all bolt-on

and I wouldn't have to pull the engines. If JC didn't have his head stuffed so far up Masher and Stecz's azzes and would call me back it would be alot easier to figure out.

Re: A question about compression ratios

not for nothing OLDSCHOOL but those engines look awesome in there . I have flycut some conventional pistons to use with big chiefs but never the othe way around the only thing I see is that all the other heads are going to be larger in volume and the piston you already have is going to bring the comp down too far . Good luck to you Laz
