?Questions for the single cam guys?
I have a 92 hatch with a vx block and a z6 head. And was wondering if a z6 block or a y7 block would be better and if so which one. Because i heard the vx block has low compression pistons.

a z6 head on a z6 block is just the ex motor. a y7 block might give you higher compression, but im not sure....ive never seen it done it personally. the vx does have lower compression pistons then the dx or ex. i would say if the setup your running right now is running well, then keep it like that. if you change the block, it may screw somehting up.

Z6 pistons = more compression than the VX
Y7 pistons = more compression than the Z6
Y8 pistons = more compression than the Y7
This is a great resource.
