The # 48 head for the 400" are 2.11-1.77 and the chamber volume is 72cc. with a compression of 10.75 to 1. The 350 # 48 has a compression of 10.5 to one. To me that means the 350 # 48 head has a different chamber volume than the 48 400" head, just look at the bore size difference 4.12 vs 3.88 ! That dosen't equate .5 in compression.

The 350 HO #48s are purported to be shaved @ .020 for @ 68 cc chamber as opposed to the typical 72cc 400 head. Stands to reason, as well. This I learned form a GM worker.
