Re: De-arcing rear leaf springs on a 81 corolla wagon

Haha 12 to 1 compression is a little more than I was thinking, I was looking at either 1.5 to 1 or 11 to 1, I need it to run on pump gas, doesnt matter to me if I need 94 octane though.

Re: De-arcing rear leaf springs on a 81 corolla wagon

Alright ill look into blocks a bit more then. no one wants a weak suspension. and thanks bob for the how to on making them.

Down the road I would not mind doing a rear end swap, I hear the 8.8 rear end out of a mustang will work? its a bit longer though right?

Re: camshaft questions, and basic build set up, advice welco

I know the engine is bone stock as it sits right now. I agree with you on the pistons for increasing compression, it seems like if i shave the head there is just more room for error, and you cant dial it back down. I know a bit about carbs, I am still reading up on them though, I will definitely try...
