Default Zl1 427

I am starting new 427 (yes, standard bore) build with a new ZL1 block and L88 replacement heads. Any body out there having luck with pump premium at 11.0:1?

My 555" was 11.6 with iron block and aluminum heads. Did fine on 93 octane. Real tight quench and tuned. 266#@.050 cam.

My 427 was 11.2 with iron heads..also did fine. 244*@.050 cam.

Keep it cool and tuned.

I run pump premium with 10.5 and iron heads. Shouldn't be a problem with 11.0 and aluminum heads.

Thanks Jim,
Warmed block to 200f and found deck grew .015. Will make pistons to be .008 above cold. Should hold quench below .050.

"Pump Premium" has different octane depending on what part of the country. Do you have 93 octane available?

My 427 has 11.7 C/R. Aluminum heads and adequate roller cam. It runs nice on our local 91 Super.
