Default What will my compression ratio be?

My 408 previously had l92 heads with a standard 69cc chamber.

Can you tell me what my compression will be with my 317s. The chamber is 71.06 from what I can tell.

Thanks I will try to find my own calculations but wanted to ask the experts.

If my calculations are correct I will be loosing around .04:1 in compression.
Seems to not be right but what I did was found the cylinder volume got what % 2 cc would be and used that % to approximate the loss of compression.

I seem to be way off so if someone could confirm my numbers or my improper method it would be appreciated.
