I still have no idea how these 'thread' things work. I understand that some of these people no longer have a corvette or maybe aren't even 'alive' but when I Google a question it brings up all this revelant information. I guess if I could figure out how to get to a proper area of where I need info. That might help but I figure it would take longer as someone would have to 'answer' the question you just asked.

ie: combustion chamber size
intake and exhaust valve size
runner size

I know the compression ratio is 8.9:1 but the rest

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Information will help me make the correct descision new parts, heads , cam, intake, carb.
Thanks, Marc
