Ok, I know I'm changing the direction here.

Lets say I get a pair of KB flat tops, zero deck the block, and use the closed chamber (84cc) Edelbrock heads....would that be decent as far as compression and quench? With a zero deck the piston should be as far away from the head as whatever the compressed thickness is of the head gasket I'm using right? So how about this plan? Now I just need a head gasket thickness.



With that setup and a common head gasket at .040" thickness you would have excellent quench and around 9.0:1 compression. If you had the heads milled to 71 cc's - which is quite feasible - you would be at about 10.25 CR. About ideal in my book for a slightly conservative mild performance pump gas engine.
