Just lose the 98-101 cc chamber 400 heads save em for a 455. Years back I did a 2801 on 400 that had crap pistons in a 76 TA for my brother in law, but swapped to 1970 #11 heads rated 8.8:1 I think. So it might have been 8.2 actual and it only had single exhaust but that THING RAN REAL WELL for what it was

Good points Larry. The #15 heads Greg has actually measured at 87 cc's, so his compression is in the high 8's on a .030 over 400. I think the 2801 cam is a good choice for his combination.
