My notes from the old Silv-o-lite catalog show the 72 and up 8:1 pistons have a compression height of 1.912"
The 66-71, 9:1 pistons have a compression height of 1.970"
The 66-71 HP, CH = 1.990"? (this still seems fairly low compression?)
The TRW six-pack piston, CH = 2.061"


68-69 440 350HP, 375Hp and the 69 390hp 6pk engines used the same piston.

I imagine that 66-67 is the same because they both have the same advertised compression ratio like 68-69 .

This is more accurate of FACTORY pistons , the numbers at the top are not factory numbers ... not including 70-71 6 pack engines


running up my post count some more .
