Compression ratio
Compression ratio
I just figured everything I could to get my compression before I put my heads on and wanted to make sure its right.
What I have figured:
Bore: 4.00
Stroke: 3.48
Combustion chambers: 56cc
Deck Height: .018 (put at TDC and used feeler gauges to measure at top edge vs deck)
Head gaskets: .047 (9966pt)
Pistons: 5cc (flat top w/ 4 reliefs)
and I used an online calc and came up with 10.638
does that sound right? And it should run fine on pump gas?

Sounds right. I'd use the impala gaskets to squeeze a little more compression out and tighten up your quench. You would then be at 11.2:1. With a good tune, you'll be fine. I am at 12.4:1 on 93.

I was gonna go that route but I picked up this whole gasket set cheap ($50) and since I'm running out of $$ will just go with them, cause I still need to get the tb, pushrods and fluids plus the tune. Not to mention this is a DD pickup (check sig below) that will go to the track every now and then to blister some stangs
