Today we're up at McVay Automotive near Mount Vernon Ohio working with Mr Bob McVay of Street Racing Channel & The Old Man's Garage fame checking out our recently acquired Pontiac cast iron cylinder heads. Before we start ordering parts and truly moving the build forward we need to know, are these heads any good? What CC are the combustion chambers? Are there any cracks?
Fortunately we can solve all these answers with just a couple hours of work at the machine shop. In order to figure out an accurate compression ratio you need to know a whole lot of mathematical values, a big one of those is the CC volume of the head. While this is a Pontiac Engine build, specifically a Pontiac 350 Build, these exact same processes work across every type or brand of engine. Even if it's a stock Pontiac Engine Rebuild these are some easy steps to ensure your rebuild goes right.
So what's our total value? Are these recently scored Pontiac 62 cylinder heads good? What kind of combination of parts are we going to need to get our new Pontiac Race Car running something close to a 12 flat? Let's see!
