I don't overthink that stuff. Normal line-of-thought is 9.5 for iron heads and 10.5 for aluminum heads. And all that quench crap? Well, Hemis and Mountain Motors don't have that and they run pretty good.

Just was wondering what exactly is your application for this motor. This 572 Hemi you using Iron or Aluminum block and what heads.

A friend has a 572 that was built by FHO. It made just under 700 HP on the dyno. It is a pump gas 9.5 to one. I looked at the build and there is plenty left to make a lot more HP from this motor. He built it to put the motor in a 1968 Charger and drive it any place like hours of driving. It is a World Aluminum Block and Stage V Heads. The cam lift is very small and I talked to Tim of FHO about the lift and it was the right choice for this motor and what my friend wanted to do with the motor. I would have to look at the specs of the cam on the card to give you any information on the cam, do not remember what exactly they are since I have not look at the specs of the build for years. Since you live were you have to drive to get any place this might be the kind of build that might suit you. 700 HP seems plenty for a driver.

One of the reasons Chrysler went to the Hemi in the 50's was because it could run a higher compression ratio than other engines with the same octane fuel. A lot of motorcycle engines run the Hemi chamber so they can run higher compression ratios as well.

W/r/t "it could run a higher compression ratio than other engines with the same octane fuel" Source of this is?
Late IVC to "bleed off some compression" is very effective... until about 2,000 RPM. The engine has its full static CR (and more if VE > 100%) during the entire torque range.

I built a Mopar Mega iron block 572 C.I. pump gas hemi motor several years ago, it has EFI with dual 4150 1150 CFM dry throttle bodies, it had right at 10.8 to 1 true compression ratio and made 799 HP on Oregon 92 octane non ethanol pump swill on a DTS engine dyno in Chico, CA with a set of CNC ported Stage V heads form Tim at FHO It's going into a 1971 Challenger with a 727 with 3,23 gear with 29 inch tall rear tires, no O.D. or lock up torque converter I'm going to help my customer get it running, it is a complete ground up build from front to rear. The car was strip completely by a thief several years ago while stored at a friends of his house Hemiroid motors are a pain in the butt to get the exact true compression ratio, I use a 100 CC burrette to measure the volume in the cylinders with the piston dome down enough to have from .010 to .050 clearance above the dome to the block deck and then calculate the true down volume off of the specs for that motor Good luck on your build

Seems like the squish in a Hemi is in the piston dome on either side of the valve notches. How close can you make them fit the chambers? .040"-.060" clearance, smaller radius than the chamber.

With no lead and other things taken out of gas and improvements in refining why is a food source being used to run a Vehicle. In the Dakotas alone there is something like 250 years of Oil still in the ground. North America has plenty of oil to be processed, the Alberta Tar Sand has plenty. Texas still has plenty, Sask. in Canada is becoming a big producer but we have to have this 10% Corn Syrup added. Just wait till we are made to have an Electric Vehicle in the next ten years and you will have charging stops everyplace. Who will be making the money then it is not GREEN looking at everything it take to get it done.
Getting back to the topic, 11.1 maybe the high and 9.5 the very low 10.5 in the middle, so 10.5 to 11.1 is were I think you should try for. Who are you going to get to build your motor. is that Washington on the West or East Coast you are from. Cab Burg states that he is in Oregon so if you are on the west coast you could talk to him. East Coast has plenty builders like Susquatch on Moparts also.

It's not the same corn. All you need to know: corn = Archer-Daniels-Midland = Iowa primary = ethanol subsidy.
W/r/t "Seems like the squish in a Hemi is in the piston dome on either side of the valve notches. How close can you make them fit the chambers? .040"-.060" clearance, smaller radius than the chamber" In some British bikes it is, but the dome shape has to be really accurate. Making it out of an existing piston would need more positive deck or a head mill (!!), and removing some of the dome volume at 12 o'clock to keep the CR. Even if you don't get actual quench (something no wider than about .060"), you can get squish (higher turbulence) by simply making the piston dome radius curve away from the chamber wall as it approaches the plug - the charge will flow to the larger volume. You might be able to build some swirl into that as well, but: 1. would you want to? 2. which direction?
Gold Star, Manx, G80 500 singles are much easier to work on!

Hemicar, I'm west coast. I am definitely going to hire someone else to build this motor for me, but I will have input on the design parameters. I would like to get a little better handle on the cam. I "feel" 10:1 is probably safe ! If you found the specs to that 9.5:1 572 that would be great but I don't want to be a pest.
Cab, do you recall the cam in the 10.8 572 you built ?
Dragula, what is a typical cam you use in a 12:1 pump gas Hemi ?
Gsmopar, same question if don't mind, cam in your 11:1 Hemi ?
Quickd100, I really like that truck of yours, always like reading about it. What cam in your 10.4 motor ?
**********
As long as I'm here typing, I'll throw this out. Because of my design limit of 6000 RPM or so, and the fact that it will be an aluminum block, I'm considering a hydraulic roller cam and using titanium valves. The hydraulic cam would take up lash from block growth, and the Ti valves would allow using fairly light valvesprings to help out the hyd lifters.
I don't really care about overall horsepower with this motor, no specific goal, it will be healthy enough. I look at it as being a torque generator.
Again, I want to say thanks for the guidance, there is an amazing amount of collective knowledge on Moparts compared to many other websites !
