Can you use a 18* sbc piston with a sbc 23* cyl. head? I know the comp. ratio will change due to the valve angle but that is all I know. Please do not hate on me. I do not know anything about the 18* stuff. Thanks for your help in advance. :lol:
Yes, I did think of that. I would check this first, I can get a great deal on the 18* pistons, but again I do not know enough about them to try it. Thaks for the reply.
Would it save you enough if you had to go in and have someone cut the valve pockets to clear though. That's if you have enough material in the piston tops to cut.
So that would help me understand the 18* thing, so the valve is at 18* and the 23* valve is more straight up and down? If the was the case, wouldn't the 23* valve travel less deeper in the piston? Thanks again for your input.
Ok, thank all of yall for your knowledge. Now just gota talk the wife into spending the money and buying the correct piston. Thanks again to everybody.
