Default Re: My new project 1928 Ford!!!!!

as i understand it, the merc heads have a bigger combustion chamber than the ford heads. if you use the ford 3 3/4" ford crank and merc heads you are losing compression. i believe the merc 4" crank with ford EAB heads, gives you a nice boost over the ford crank, merc heads. i'm sure others can respond with more knowledge than me.
