GM LQ9 iron 6.0 liter block (includes block plugs)

Not going to happen without replacing the pistons. To get to 10.5 you'd have to have heads with 35cc combustion chambers.

what heads are you using? is there a specific reason you want 10.5:1? i would contact one of the vendors and tell them what you have so they can match you heads and pistons accordingly
