iagree Those are good numbers after boring up I've owned a Dakota digital 1000 sonic teter for a long time now and I've used those numbers on mild 360 LA bracket motors(11.5 to 1 compression) where the owner only had that block and insisted on building it, it is still together today as far as I know with a lot of runs on it, 500+ work
One of the former NHRA stock World Champion 428 Ford racers said that they use .090 as the cut off on the thrust surfaces on those blocks shock shruggy
