Where Can One Find Published Factory 360 Piston Compression Height?

In post #3 above, that web page listing shows the 360 compression height as 1.687". So, who is right? Maybe no-one.

That web page listing (Victory Tech Papers) shows 'maximum compression height' which is for a theoretical zero deck piston. That is not actual compression height of a stock piston.

Another problem, the list I found shows "D" block deck height for all small blocks as 9.94" and I believe that figure is more like 9.60"/9.599".

The latter number is correct. You can use that with confidence.

The table you showed has some numbers right but others wrong so it is correct to question that table.
