High Compression Heads

Posted by Pat Patterson on May 27, 1998 at 22:05:25

How about a little controversy?... Anyone have any opinions about the 5.9-to-1 heads sold through the various parts houses?I've heard stories about valves coming in contact with them, and that they're hard on the bearings. My '30 Town Sedan has a high speed rear-end in it, so it does fine on flat roads, but terribly going up hills.I'm looking for a way to improve performance without damaging the engine. What about the transistor ignitions?I suspect they would improve fuel economy by supplying a more consistent burn. I'd like to keep it "as Henry built it," but I feel vulnerable to being rear-ended in the California foothills.So I'm considering the changes. Thanks in advance... Pat
