It looks as if you used cast pistons from the cost. Is this true and do you know what the compression ration is?

I don't remember what type of pistons were used.

The original compression ratio was 9.0 (down from 9.7 the previous year). The heads were milled to compensate for a slight warpage, performance head gaskets were used, and I believe the new pistons also contributed to higher compression. It's probably close to 10.
