    Tomorrow I'm gonna take the engine block over to him and we'll trial fit the pistons to see how far down it is. That's going to factor into the compression obviously.

    ahhh sorry, forgot!
    ok, we went with the -20cc pistons, and the compression ratio that it came out to was 8.7:1. The small block is just sitting there until we get a chance to start building it. The heads I had machined too, even though they are aftermarket.
