you could check the number if you have that written down

If not someone will know based on the pistons I'd think

If it is indeed an 8.13 but suppose it'll have to wait til he gets the block in his hands again

Could be either or then I suppose given that they're both EFI

Presume the one you posted may be auto as that would need a little more grunt that manual ? Didn't see that when I was looking on the numbers

if it is 8.13:1 he should put some better pistons in while its apart as they cant be much more than 140 bhp the same as in my 72 rrc lol
