What are the average cc stock chambers are? Bout howmuch cna you take off of them decking them? i was wodnering what compression you could get down to with 6.0 heads on a stock shortblock, or how high with the 4.8s etc.

I think you are very close on the 4.8 / 5.3 head numbers.

With the 6.0L heads, you can get 72-74cc's so 9.7:1

With the 5.3 you could get them to the 57cc range that's 12:1

With the standard 5.3 chamber it will be 11.2:1

Bret 62cc chamber on stock 5.7 shortblock is 10.8 to 1 not 11.2.

LS1derfull,

what quench height and gasket area are we talking about here?

The pistons don't have any valve reliefs so we much be talking about that area.

I was using a .040 qunech area on a 3.905 qasket.

can some one calculate stock bore and stroke, a popular size head gasket, LS6 heads, -10.00cc pistons, and 6.125 rods.

3.905 Gasket bore, .060 thick, .015 postive eck height on the piston, 64.5cc Chamber -10cc dish

BTW Rod doesn't have anything to do with it, if it's done right.

But I thought it it was a -10.00 cc piston it was dome, I went to an engine compression calculator a while back and when ever I put in a positive number it had low compression. I was thinking that with this set up I would get around the area of a high 11 low 12 compression ratio. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

What he is saying if you go with a longer rod, you have to get a shorter compression height piston. SO the piston ends up in the same loation. Now you can move this around a little bit, but too far down and you lose quench and too far up annd piston meets head <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

your compression would be down at top dead center by 10-3=7 ccs that woudl end up about .7 points below stock whithc is what 10.1? so youd be at 9.4 or therebot liek brett said

so with a 6.0 head unported(70cc) 3.905 bore with Diamond 11503 FI piston(-8.6cc dish) and a popular FI head gasket and a 6.125 rod = what compression ratio?
Or the same as above but with a 11502(-2cc pistons)
= what compression?
I am putting a new engine together and this info would help me greatly.
Thanks,
J
