I finally pulled apart the engine out of my plow truck with less than 50,000 miles and wow oil changes make a hell of a difference, I was shock at how clean it was inside compared to outside and no ridge on cyl to speak of. Now my question is will this block and bottom end hold under moderate boost like 10psi or so, it is a 4 bolt and will the notches in the piston on the squish band cause issues with detonation(see pics)? What compression ratio will it need to be for 10psi boost, what heads?
going to run it with th400 and 3.73 gears in a 85 c10 2wd turbo blow thru carb and unsure what ignition to use, suggestions please
engine is from
86 c20 heavy duty
block 14010207
heads 462624, 462626
I'm sure I'll have more questions since I have never played with turbos before other than diesels. And I'm trying to do it on the cheap if I can.
