If the chambers are the stock size, with a .055" gasket and 2cc piston 10.8-1. With the 4cc piston, 10.5-1. With a .041" gasket and 2cc, 11.2-1 and with the 4cc piston, 10.9-1.

the same heads and dish volume will not yeild the same CR on a 408, the 4" stroke increase's compression. to the tune of 12.2 if the same head and dish volume is used.

also, the 3.910 or 3.905 cometic will be fine.

The specs from the earlier post were for a stock bore and stroke motor.
