How about a 455...60 over....#64 heads.....performer intake with Rochester quadrajet.....RA IV cam....dual point ignition....hedman hedders???? Horsepower??? Somebody told me that with those heads I'm up near 11:1 compression...any truth??
Thanks Roy


Not sure on horsepower, but depending on what else you've done to the block and heads the CR shouldn't be that high. If they are 87cc heads, .060 overbore, standard stroke, standard 6.7 cc dish piston, deck height is .020, gasket thickness of .039, CR would be 9.97:1. If the heads or deck have been milled the CR can go up quickly.
