How far in the hole 318 pistons

This probably won't be much help to you as this motor had been apart a couple of times with a 0.040" overbore, but on my 1973 casting 318 the pistons were about 0.070" in the hole. The block had been decked before but I don't know how much was taken off. Factory pistons could of had a higher or lower compression height than the replacement pistons that were in it when I pulled it down. Also maybe worth noting is that the "fireball" 318s were supposed to have slightly taller pistons in them.
I would be pulling a head off to check for sure, but if I was going through the trouble of a roller cam swap I would definitely be swapping out the factory pistons.

I've got a 318 with Enginetech pistons that measured 10 thou down after the block came to me heavily decked. Compression height for those pistons is 1.741 so if you calculate the distance with with the piston(1.741), rod(6.123) and crank stroke (3.31/2= 1.655) you get 9.519. If you go by Chrysler stated Deck height of 9.600 that leaves you with anywhere between 0 and .080 distance you could have. Measure twice and cut once as the saying goes if you want to know and be accurate. Pull the heads measure and just sit them back on.
