P79 head is from '81-'83 280Z non-turbo. Currently I have a complete '82 engine sitting in my garage (complete as it still has FI, alternator, AC compressor, power steering pump, etc attached).

:classic: I just came accross this site last nite , I was looking for information on compression . I am installing a p-79 head that is milled .03 on a 54 flat top block . I figure that it will net about 9.5 to 1 . check out this site . geocities.comrow4navy/head2html see what you think , there is a lot of good info. there. Gary :classic:

beandip, your link does not work. I copy and pasted it into a browser alone, with www in front and with http:// in front and none of the three worked.

I 'll look it up and try it again . must of copied it wrong sorry

Hey Beandip,

There is still something wrong! I am getting "Sorry, the page you requested was not found"

I tried clicking on your link and pasting it into the browser.

Thanks.
