318 budget build

Are you saying the advertised compression ratio of 9.2:1 with factory pistons and 302 heads is pretty close to what you measured/calculated out to 9.1:1?

That's good to know.
Yup that was a deal breaker for me, it actually comes out to 9:18:1 pretty damn close. You can easily get 10: Milling the heads .045 down to 58ccs
