Combustion Chamber size for 10:1 compression Ratio?

On a stock LT1 what size would I have to make the combustion chamber to make the compression ratio 10:1? Or can someone tell me all the stock dimensions so I can figure it out myself.

Thanx

You might try this in LT1 Engine Tech. There are a lot more folks over there who might help you. You might also try looking up LT1 specs either in books or online. You'll probably retain a lot more of the info if you dig it our yourself rather than if someone just says 61.38 ccs.

Good luck.

Re: Combustion Chamber size for 10:1 compression Ratio?

You need too consider head gasket thickness as well. The b-body has the same shortblock as the f-body but has a thinner head gasket(.029 vs. .039) and heads that are a published 64cc for the irons vs. a published 58cc for the aluminums. I say published because real world numbers will vary from this. The stock b-body motor specs out too 10:1 the f-body 10.4:1 that clear as fog?
