RE: big block head choice

[Sean B <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I should have clarified.  The car it came out of had a blown 
transmission, so it "runs like a dream" standing still.  Meaning, super 
smooth, no ticks or knocks, no smoke of any kind, etc.  I am a bit 
concerned that in my car, with a load on it, it will ping or knock with 
its 10.10 to 1 (supposed) compression rating.  Yes, it has 516 heads.

Thanks,

Sean
