Tom,
Perhaps you could apply the grooving technique to this head then.  Typical grooved head rule of thumb is 10:1 and under can run 87 octane.  Food … er, fuel, for thought.


Sincerely,

Hey! I found that I have a closed-chamber head in my iron pile. It's in 
great shape, casting 3170717. I think it's a 64 head. (And it's got the

top-end oiling fix; the far rocker bolt is drilled, 1/8" tube brazed in 
the top out through the valve cover for an external oil line.)

Assuming it's a 56cc head, a .030" head gasket, and flat top pistons 
that come up .0845" below the deck, bore x stroke is 3.78 x 3.50... (30 
over)

area= 11.22 sq in
gasket volume = .33 ci
chamber volume 56cc = 3.4 ci


BDC
cyl volume = 39.27 ci (area * 3.5)
total volume= 43.00 ci

TDC
cyl volume = 0.948 ci (area * .0845)
total volume= 4.678 ci

static ratio = 9.19:1


Anyone's opinion: is this too much for a street car on cheap pump gas?
