Giacamo you said you use flat top pistons and get 10 to 10.5:1 compression! Are you running pump gas? What octane rating, and what cc size are your heads? The reason I ask is I want to use 89 octane with around 9.5:1 and I thought I'd be pushing it!

I'm very new the FE world so I would like to get all the info I can about them! Hope you can help answer some of my questions?

Thanks for any replys!

What cc size were stock 352 heads in 1965 and what size of valves did they come with?

Can I get bigger valves cut into the stock heads?

And last of all, will I be ok with the non-adjustable rocker setup?

Thanks for all your replys!
