Fun fact. I have a LQ4 that I have been considering putting in the SS. I spoke to a local speed shop about doing some machine work on it yesterday morning for a rebuild. Do you think the SS knows I'm splitting up the "family"???
So this happened today

I think it'll be ok, if something was loose enough in that cylinder to allow a piston to hit a plug you'd hearing more than a miss
just talk nice to the SS about an adoption so the SS engine can retire and take it easy.....
now I see your plan, you want this engine to have a major issue so you'll have an excuse to drop the LQ4 in.....🙂
Absolutely not. Was going to sell the 355 & T350 to finance the LQ4 rebuild and install. That's the plan anyway.
Drove the SS a gentle 50 miles. No power loss, missing, smoke, water in oil, etc. Whatever it was only happens under hard acceleration or it was a one time deal. Still going to check the piston to plug clearance and get some different plugs to improve clearance.
Edbrelock 6061 aluminum with roller rockers. Don't have a pic of the pistons but I'm sure they are flat with valve relief.
