Olly Olly Oxen Free!....ya'll can come out of Hiding now and buy this shortblock anytime...heck of a deal guys!! Lol
What is the approx compression ratio with that motor and a set of TA stage 2 heads? Half fill? That's in the water jackets? This is not a street motor?
Also interested in compression ratio with the stage 2 heads. Is a timing cover or oil pan included? Any pictures of motor?
Half fill is usually/generally to the bottom of the ports in front, very streetable, oil cooler is a good idea but I've ran half fills 3 different times for several thousand miles each time and never had any issues from it. With a zero deck flatop piston you can expect some healthy compression, nothing a large overlap cam and a thicker gasket can't cure. IE this is a great deal for either street or a serious strip piece,...jmo,..Mark is the owner not trying to answer for him just throwing it out there With uncut stage 2's I'd expect no less than 12to1, but don't let that scare you,..you just have to accommodate for it, but if you want something that will hold what 98% of Buick enthusiast would ever want this is it
About 12:1 static CR with stage 2 heads, I've driven my half fill engine all over the street without problems but I don't get out on the highway due to my rear gear ratio. I can include a stock modified pan but don't have an extra front cover. Anybody who wants pics please pm your email and I'll shoot them over.
