318 LA hp and torque question

From what I've seen you won't see 9:1. If memory serves I had my 273 closed chamber heads milled 15 and used the Mr Gasket thin head gaskets, mine came out to about 8.6, but good enough for what it is :) I think the 302 heads might have a tiny bit smaller combustion chamber but I'd use whichever was found at the right price.
As long as it wins against the occasional import, makes v8 noises, and roasts my radials I'm fine with it :burnout:
