My 325 Hemi is bored 40-over (331, now, and with hardened valve seats
added, too) and altho I live at 4k' , with timing advanced(?) for it, I
can tool around with regular 87-grade gas literally all year, and it
gets very warm here.
Drove last year to/from Tulsa using regular gas, too; 3300 miles.
Gas octane ratings are calculated differently from the 50's/60's iirc,
and maybe the additives are better, too, nowadays.

Folks:
When I had my 56 Fury 303 rebuilt it, there were also flat top pistons in it. I just replaced them with 40 thousandths over since I had no plans to race it. It too probably had a rebuild early in it's life. I still burn 93 octane, but with the price of gasoline, will be experimenting with lower grade fuel. The odometer had over 100,000 miles on it when I bought it.
