The c/h spec I found is 1.926, which would put it down the hole .150 +/-....... Which is 36.5cc. @ +.030 over.

With an 84cc head, .040 gasket, +.030 over bore and an uncut block, it's 7.95:1.

Basically, it's a forged replacement piston for something like a 76-78 motor.

Depending on what the goals for the car/motor are....... It might be worthwhile to swap them out now.
Or..... Add some boost maybe.

Swap to some 75cc E street heads, .027 gaskets gets it up to 8.65.
Mill the heads to 70cc gets you to 8.98.


Not to hijack,but what would the comp ratio be with L2266 TRW pistons with everthing else the same as the OP's build?
