You would still hafta mill the $#!t outta those 6X-8 heads to get those to a chamber size that'll net close to 11.0:1 CR with the TRW/FM L2279F dome pistons.

It would take something like some 6x-4's milled to like 85cc's on a zero deck shortblock to get close to 11.0:1 CR with those pistons (that's like 10.94:1 CR).

The dome on those pistons is pretty dang small,only like +10cc's compared to the flat tops that are -6.6cc's or so.

FWIW/HTH
