Decking block
 

is it legal to zero deck a lt1 350 for stock eliminator? If not how much in the hole do I need to leave the piston.

I doubt it...nhra/ihra have that spec. & required head gasket thickness listed...

Re: Decking block
 

Total deck with gasket IIRC is .062"

If you had a zero deck you'd need a .062" thick gasket....

That's for a late model EFI LT-1...

The old LT-1's probably have a total deck number that would not be safe to run.....

And with the way that a head gasket usually overhangs the bore, the hot lick is to use the thinnest head gasket that you can and more negative deck.

Really??

Re: Decking block
 

I guess THAT didn't come out right.
And the way the head gasket usually IS LARGER THAN THE BORE IN DIAMETER, ETC.ETC.ETC.

What Billy said. Second time. LOL

You want to order the gasket bore size AFTER you do the valve job...in the new NHRA.
