If my math is right and I just used the stock crank 3.58 my compression ratio would be 9.67 to 1?

A 3.79 stroker crankshaft would bump the compression up to 10.17 to 1?


You would be smarter to just build a stock stroke engine with iron heads. My 671 iron magnum heads were 60cc unmilled, the edelbrock magnums are 58cc unmilled. I would not make any plans until you measure the heads.
