budget drag strip car build Q's

Hey len, your buddy's combo sounds impressive.


I got a question about compression. I acquired my 340 as an already rebuilt short bock with 1267 silvolite piston at 10.2 to 1 comp. at zero deck. Assuming the deck and heads were not milled and stock head gasket. What would be final compression?
.

Depending on a lot of factors it could be anywhere from 9.5 to 11:1. If you want to take some measurements, this formula, would get you very close.
