I can't remember how many slant engines I have taken apart to rebuild. I have never, ever, found one that was at least 8.0 to 1 from the factory. All were less then 8.0-1.
Right. It's the same with everything else, too right up to the 426 Hemi. Course, they had better than 8:1 but all were still low compared to what they were rated.
