    i want to calculate the theoretical compression ratio with the new aluminum heads but I don’t know the piston dome volume. I have the cast 10:1 pistons from TA, but their site doesn’t seem to list the specs for these pistons for a 350 bored .030.

    Anyone know?

    What is the piston number?

    alec296 i need another buick

    If its the 340p cast pistons, i used an estimated 10.5 cc
    Roughly 9.7 with untouched deck, felpro gasket.

    The only number I know is the TA part number of TA-1602

    Do you know your deck height? Or how deep the pistons sit in the hole? Typically the 10:1 pistons give about 9.5:1

    Thank you for the help. My deck is .034”
    I am using the Felpro head gaskets.... .040” thick?

    Using +10.5 cc on the piston volume,
    .040 on head gasket
    55.5 cc head volume on aluminum heads
    3.83” piston diameter
    3.85 stroke
    .034” deck height

    Calculates to a 10.08:1 ratio at the below listed site:
