Yes, Dan dyno'd those engines a long time ago and they were not Pure Stock max'ed out rebuilds, just good 'pure' stock rebuilds with factory replacement cams (Crane or Melling blueprint cams). The compression ratios were what they were from minimal resurfacing the block decks and heads surfaces, and came a little closer to advertised, but still below. There were no oversized repro RA exhaust manifolds yet, so used the originals.
