Doug, the stock design seemed to work good as far as I could tell.
The trough (no eyebrows) made a little more CR. The engine with a higher lift roller cam made good power. With the addition of the domed pistons really woke the engine up. (compression to 10.4 to 1)
If it had 12 to one it would have been a beast. But the chambers were too big probably to get that CR. Unless the head was milled of course.
(would have made a killer turbo engine back then )
