The more I work on this '60 352 the more it looks like a rebuild will be needed.
What is the difference in thickness between original steel shim gaskets and compositions, and are there different thickness composition gaskets available?
What is the original piston to deck clearance at TDC?
Were '60 cams grooved, requiring different cam bearings than later?
Do aftermarket pistons like Badger, Silvolite, etc. have their pin locations higher than stock, thus dropping compression?
Were the original pistons flat top without valve cutouts or other reliefs?
Is there a resource I can go to and find out these things and others, without bothering you guys?
Apologies for all the questions .
