Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Flatjack, not the slightest bit above the deck. I could get a close up of a piston at TDC tomorrow. Most of the heads I have came from the large stash of blocks and parts I bought from a neighbor. He inherited them from his father in law and being a diehard bowtie goon, he considered them "boat anchors". The FIL had junked 13 cracked blocks a year earlier and these 9 were his 'keepers'. I had to drive 1 1/2 miles to pick them up. Guy was obviously huge into our V8s . All the heads were bolted face to face as pairs, with a sheet of corrugated cardboard in between. I have zero details on any history.
