We cut .090 off of mine. Not sure how much farther it could have gone.

After the cut the chambers came down to 64.6 cc's.

I know this may not be the best set up but I was looking to put these on a 71 440 non hp stock piston motor with a 509 cam. Any ideas on how much the heads can be milled before I will get to close on piston to valve clearance? YA A JUNK MOTOR RECIPE.

How far in the hole are the pistons?

I ran a 555 solid lift cam W/ OOTB eddy heads and flat top pistons (no releifs) that were .102 in the hole with no contact.

Last time the heads were off the pistons were quite a bit down would have to check to know for sure. Thanks now I have a idea how much they could be milled just have to do some measuring.
