compression ratio
What head gaskets are you going to use? Do you know how far down the piston's are down the bore from were the heads bolt down to the deck surface? I am going to say more than likely it will be about 9.2:1.

i am using the edelbrock head gaskets that were reccomended. Why so low? I've heard 9.5 10.1 and 10.5.... my cam is a edelbrock roller 234 238 .534 .549 on a 112...is that too much cam for that compression ratio
?

It will run ok, but not optimum. The reason that I say the compression will come out close to 9.2:1 is b/c the piston's sit down inside of the bore of the motor if it has never been "decked". The other reason is b/c your useing a 0.070" dish piston, not a 4 valve flat top.
