Compression height is the distance of the piston pin to the crown of the piston. If you know that, then you can figure out what stroke and rod length combination you can use with those pistons and your block.
3.48 = crank stroke
6.00 = rod length
9.025 = stock block deck height (distance from crank c/l to top of deck)
So to figure out the correct compression height would be the following formula:
3.48/2 = 1.74 (half of stroke length)
9.025 - 1.74 = 7.285 - 6" rod length = compression height of 1.285"
Obviously this compression height can vary based on actual deck height of the block you're using.
