Oh well those details are quite important then!

What Can are you running?

The cylinder pressure you will have are as big a part as the overall CCs above the piston top.

I assume those 48 casting are 100% redone top to bottom?
The open chamber heads are a tad more prone to pinging and knock with a given level of compression than the earlier chambers and a greater deck clearance only adds some to that chance of problems.

Depending on your cam pick I am not sure that even running a 4.300” wide x .065” tall gasket will drop you down to a safe pump gas friendly compression.

I want to say that if you’re not locked into having to run those 66 Cc 48 castings that you sell them and pick up a set of # 62 castings .

Once again your cam pick is crucial here!
Some folks with top notch tuning skills can get I iron head 10.5 to 1 motor to run fine on todays 94 octane, but your locked into having 94 in your tank or cutting it with race fuel.
