budget 273 build

When I calculated out the dome, drop in the hole, head gasket and the cc on the head and the numbers we closer to 10.25:1 on the egge .030 over. Not sure wher you got the info that the dome tops got such low compression...


How did you guys calculate the compression on your engines?

Here is a thread to explain how to do it accurately with reasonably priced readily available equipment.
