..i think the factory rating was for NHRA blueprint specs.
a '69 340 would be 10.5 if built to the legal NHRA specs which allowed 63 cc heads etc.
a stock head is 70 -72 cc and will probably yield about 9.0 : 1 or so.
...but you really have to do the math.




69 340 nhra specs...allows 63.3 head cc ...piston is .045 above deck...head gasket is .035

I bet the compression is higher then 10.5 to 1...
