Thanks, I will be burning them in soon and wanted to make sure I wasn't making a huge mistake.

They are the 6272292 casting from 72, the math on these comes out to 7.5:1 with the .125" or 5.5cc dome pistons. I have a line on some old bathtub chamber heads that drop the combustion chamber volume by 15cc's and add some quench. I'll be putting some work into them so hopefully they will make some better power...
