Looking for a High compression head that has been milled so much that the pistons hit the head. Helping a friend with a A crank engine that
has Ford V8 pistons that just come to the top of the block. So even a HC head will only make 4.5:1 or 5:1 @ best. He would like to make a little
more than that. If you have one that has been collecting dust because the machine shop got carried away maybe we can help each other out?
He really is not wanting to change rods & pistons to fix this as he is thinking of getting it together to sell. It has a C-4 automatic setup so it will
be more of a speedster or hotrod set up?

Re: WTB Over milled HC head
Thanks Paul I got your email. Dan, Yes I believe they are Y block pistons. As of now I know of two A crank T engines with this same flat top piston
issue. One I think will work with a high compression head because the pistons do come up out of the block some & this one comes just to the top
of the block.
