Re: 63-64 430 MEL head and cylinder combustion chamber size
My engine is a 1959 block and head, with the big intake ports on the heads. I had to use an earlier one to accomodate the FoMoCo tripower..... no combustion chamber. You can do the calculations on compression if you have 1. head chamber size 2. head gasket thickness 3. combustion chamber total volum...

Re: 63-64 430 MEL head and cylinder combustion chamber size
I bought my pistons from another member here, after he wanted slightly more compression. This piston is 9.625 to 1, but the work order and forging number may help Wiseco. These are the wiseco work order numbers

MOON VALVE COVER ALERT
It seems that MOON products are now (re) producing the MEL 430 valve cover as a stock item. For those of you not familiar with this item, MOON products used to produce a cast aluminum polished valve cover for the 430, which is high enough for higher ratio or bulkier roller rockers.

Re: Edelbrock L300
The middle carburetor is the only one that has idle and choke circuits. The two outer carburetors are 'dumpers' that advance as the linkage asks them to.
