well if the heads are 122 cc chamber there no way its a 10.25:1 . older heads are around 90 to 100 cc then it would be 10.25.1or hi 9s chevy never made a bigger cast piston for the 396/325 and the 402/350 engines they all had a small dome pistons. and made some lower cr cast pistons but the 325/350 hp had the bigger domes in low hp engines they move up the ccs on the head s the old engines use what we called bath tubs chambers very small cc s they stop using that chamber in 1967 or so
