55 in 5th gear I think, I didn't torque the head right and she over heated on me. I know it had a little knock last year because it was spun past 7k on a stock HEI. so i think the overheating was just a catalyst to the big picture. I don't think getting slammed into a tree at 70mph helped either

ehh basically it comes down to me rushing a build and going against what i know
I should have rebuilt the bottom end...
I didn't
I shouldn't have ran 11:1CR on a 2 bolt main...
I did
I shouldn't have spun a knocking motor to 6k...
i did
but, I knew the knock meant death. I needed to rebuild anyway and I've had a bare 4 bolt 010/020 hi-perf block sitting at the engine shop for a few months now. so now I need to force my self to take my time, do it right, and not be an *******.

11:1 CR on a 2 bolt is nothing, tons of guys with LT1s doing 11.5:1 on 2 bolt mains with pump gas.

exactly, LT1. I'm talking about a gen1 with HEI. you've said it yourself, opti it a very accurate spark system. HEI, ehhh not so much, at least on its own anyway. having higher compression doesn't help with high rpm detonation either. LT1s also have reverse cooling to help keep the heads cool to avoid that. If it wasn't for the piss poor location of the opti LT1 would be the way to go. its all good though. build, break, repeat right?

Plenty of people have gone 11:1 on gen 1 2 bolts. Sounds like you know what your issues were, though. I wonder if something happened to the inside of the motor when it got cracked up as it was running at the time.
