Piston compression height is 1.752", rod length is 6.605", stroke radius is 1.925", so the stack is 10.282" (or thereabouts, measure it yourself). The block deck height of a '68 - '71 block is 10.300", for a '72 -up it is 10.320", so cut the decks to a new block deck height of about 10.285". This will result in a piston deck height of 0.003". Using the 7314 Edelbrock head gasket that compresses to 0.048" will result in a squish of 0.051". Measure all the pieces and shoot for this squish.
955 cc's in the cylinder
75 cc's in the chamber
4.2 cc's in the piston
0.7 cc's in the piston deck
12.5 cc's in the gasket
1,047.4 total cc's divided by 92.4 cc's = 11.33:1 static compression ratio
Before we go any further, do you have E85 at the pumps up there?PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
