It is a 1500 block and head. In fact Joe, I think it's the block I bought
from you. Maybe I can figure a way to measure the head while on the engine,
any ideas ?

A machine shop removed about 0.25" on mine, yielded about 9.6:1 with flat

I did not replace the pushrods, but it's something easily checked when

Any sources (in addition to VB) for the push - pull electrical connectors
used throughout the Spitfire ? I have had problems with the ones from VB.
Also, has anyone redone the harness to replace the push - pull connectors
entirely ? If so, what type of connector did you use ?
