1972 Demon 340 engine mods

The company that did full restoration on this car told me its a 71 spec 340 with 10.25:1 compression bone stock with steel crank.
Just for information, the 10.25 is a factory number and is higher than reality. The early 340's were actually approximately 9.4-9.5 static compression ratio. It seems like all the of the Mopar factory compression ratio numbers were about .75 points high; I suspect they were based on combustion chambers that were milled to something like NHRA minimums. (And perhaps NHRA minimums were based upon some theoretical factory minimum chamber size that the factory used for marketing purposes.)

We all look forward to seeing the actual compression volume measurements. Let us hope that the correct early 340 pistons were used.
