I've been doing some thinking about my L6 parts pile. I have 3 complete 250's, one of which is probably good, and a 194. I got looking at the specs and had a bad thought or two.
If I put a 250 crank in a 194 then the total length of 1/2 stroke +rod +piston height would be .15in taller than stock. Anyone know what the stock deck height clearance is?
With that same combo, if I swapped my 250 head to drop the CR just a bit, it would look like I could run E85 (given it's antiknock properties). Any thoughts?

Here's another - 230 pistons in a 250. Increases the height by about .15 also. And then addd my 194 head. Any thoughts?

Guess I may need to get out the measuring tools and tear one down to see...
