anymore specs on the pistons?

I'd say impala either way unless you're already at 12:1 undecked, unmilled, with stock gaskets

Mr. Gasket MLS, keep in mind you can't use the gasket for an iron head on an aluminum head, it has a steel ring that wont crush in the alum and you will have to then mill the crap out of the heads to reuse them

Mr Gasket 5716 head gaskets

Not true. MR G 5716s are listed as iron head gaskets but work great on aluminum. I just pulled them off my old motor and the heads were perfectly fine.
Countless guys use them to bump compression since they are .026 compressed and Ive never heard of a problem. Not even a leak.

how much more compression will those gaskets give out of a stock motor

true that!

As far as how much compression on a stock car it's at least 11:1, but it might be slightly more from calculations some have made.

with my heads milled .030 and those gaskets on the stock short block I was at 11.4:1

I used victor reinz #5898 .026 when I put aluminum heads on my 96 impala.They were stock camaro heads I had ported.I installed them three years ago and have had no problems at all.I used new head bolts and my manual said torque to between 65-75 and I went to 70.Napa sells these gaskets.

is the block getting decked or heads milled?

with a 4 valve releif flat top I imagine the SCR will be around mid 10:1 with stock gasket, undecked, unmilled.
