Not the four barrel magnum motors from the factory would be over 9.7to1, probably closer to 8.8 to 1 shruggy scope
I've CC a lot of stock 906 heads that had 92.0+ CC per chamber and those stock magnum flat top pistons with no valve reliefs where down over -.030 in the hole shruggy
No where close to NHRA blue print specs. down
