Does the closed chamber with dished pistons still have this problem or is it related to the cylinder head combustion chamber shape/size rather than the actual compression ratio? Haven't found an answer to this yet, since most reasons for the dished pistons are to control compression/detonation issues in strokers or other motors looking for more power with smaller combustion chambers. Since I have to rebuild it, lower compression pistons seem like a good alternative to shelling out for octane booster and fussing with it every time they change the alcohol content.ĭoing some research says that the open chamber heads are more prone to detonation and such than the closed chamber. That being said, a straight stock rebuild on this motor might not be happy with the ethanol and would require compensating efforts (backed off timing, octane booster along with the 92octane ethanol) to get it happy again. It's too easy to get distracted with things that make more hp and end up with a car that you never drive because it either costs too much or becomes impractical for the street.

Save Big $$$$ and use it for other items such as a Nasa hood and an aftermarket ram air set up. Maybe "peppy" is a stretch but still not a total dog. Keep the rear end gears as high as possible - 2.75's actually are quite "peppy" behind a Cleveland. Put in an Crane h260 or similar cam for mileage. Still will have the little 4's in the corner of the heads - good for the cool factor especially at a car show with the hood up and the engine off. No racing, no drama, and driven like a normal car.īuild a stock bore 4V Cleveland with good used 73 and up dished pistons and he can run even the cheapest ethanol mixed gas they sell.
