on a quick search of the web didn't come up with anything. i'm not trying to
turn this into a monster engine, infact i'd like the compression up'd for fuel
economy . i am opening the block to put in freeze plugs and re-ring while
i'm there if there are pistons available to increase compression. otherwise
by calculation i'd have to shave of 0.100 combined of the decks and head to
get into the 9.0:1

Welcome from across the Pond! I lived in Thetford and Oxfordshire for 6 years while in the US Air Force.


Check out http://performanceolds307.tripod.com/index.html. Lotsa good tips and tricks there. Also, do a search of 307 performance threads at www.oldspower.com.

its probably one of the more idealic towns in the uk, not been to thereford
though make sure you make a proper trip and have a look round our
country oneday. i just got back from 3 weeks in cali during june, liked it

addicted to your jajck in the box sirloin now, unfortunate since we don't get
it here haha

Unless you like looking at farming country, you aren't missing much by missing Thetford. I'd really like to see more of Scotland.
