In Reply to: Some clarifications/more information posted by Chris Graff on December 02, 2001 at 08:47:35:

In YOUR OPINION which compression I should I go with 9.0-9.3:1 or 10:1 I have read & some people say higher compression, there4 more tendency to failure (e.g.,: piston / cyl rings and groves).
I know its all RELATIVE....

Are the 3430 blocks more reliable than 3453, due to cyl wall thickness?

Since I'm doing the conversion myself in the E9, I'm going to use carburetors (it should be easier conversion). In YOUR OPINION Which 3.5L engine would give me the best bang (POWER / reliability) for the TLC / money.

TIA
Yeros
