used a 20cc medicine syringe… not exactly top end accurate... but gets me an in-field ball park volume.. current piston bowl volume of ~58cc, add ~10cc for clearance in the head/dead space etc for total of 68cc
503/6=84ci
~84ci per cylinder
1ci=16.39cc
68cc=4.14ci
84/4.14=20.28:1 CR

explains why it started soo well in 10* temps....

DIC says it avg 9mpg over 45 miles dragging my burban back.... Supposed it's ~330/750.... My mutt will walk it at stop lights without trying... TCC doesn't engaged to 30mph in TH, basically mid 3rd gear, it's got 4.10 or 4.30 225/70/19.5... takes forever to get off the line without mashing the go pedal....72mph is ~2100
Need to get paperwork setup to be legal..

Forgot to ask, What about the oil squirter issue? You stated this block does not have them but they were on the original engine that was supposed to be in that chassis.

Can you add them to that block?
