Advertised as 114cc for an 8.2:1 compression ratio! Not called "soup bowls" for nothing ;-) I've done the 6X-8 + 455 build before and it was impressive. The 068 does seem like a good choice, I just hear so much flak from people on how it's "old technology." I've got a clone of it in an 8.5:1 400 with 3.55 gears and it's plenty fun to drive.

Old technology does not = bad technology. Only bad technology = bad technology.
