You are going the wrong way with your math. You have to add all voids to get the final combustion volume. So using your numbers, 72cc plus 11cc plus area for the head gasket plus the distance the piston is down in the hole plus a few other smaller voids like the area around the piston circumference to the cylinder wall down to the top ring (the last one most don't worry about unless using a piston with a large chamfer).

When I have read about the 428 ci Motor Piston size Bore and Stroke it said 72 cc and screw in studs, so I thought that volume was complete for the "D"-Port Head for 1967. I see what you mean though, don't forget the "Quench"- Fire Front. Is that the correct word? Squish, something like that. Zero Deck, the Piston is at the Top of the Block because it was milled so?
