1970 Dodge Dart 318 upgrades

1968 Service Manual states 9.2:1 compression for my Coronet and I measured how far down in the hole they were (100% original car) and they were just about 0.028"/0.030" with a steel gasket. I think that would get you very close to 9.2. The Sealed Power Pistons put you a disgusting 0.090" in the hole.
If it really was that high in the hole, then you would indeed be up in that SCR range with 675 type heads. I have not ever heard of a stock piston at that height in the bore. Very interesting, and thanks for the data point; I'll see if I can find anything else that supports that. (I won't just run with the FSM CR numbers however... they have proved to be 'optimistic' over and over...)

For sure, it was/is an LA and not a Poly?
