Title: Compression Ratio?
Post by: 1973 500 on December 05, 2003, 04:46:00 PM
I own a 1979 K10 with a 400 small block.  From what I could find, it would have a compression ratio of 8.5:1 from the factory, and 642 heads with 78cc combustion chambers.  I want to bump compression for more power.  Wouldn't 64cc combustion chambers put me up around 9.9:1?
