Bringing up the subject of compression, you mentioned 11:1 static
compression with flattop pistons and max wedge heads. The 286 max wedge
heads have nominal 87 CC partially open chambers (mine checked out from 87
to 87.5 CC per chamber on heads that had never been milled), a somewhat
larger chamber than the standard big block closed chamber heads in the
pre-906 days. I think the '63 and '64 have at least that big and possibly
slightly larger. With flattop pistons and zero deck, I think that would work
out to no more than 10:1 and probably a bit less. I had Ross make a set of
pistons for me which I requested that they take my head and block dimensions
and give me a true 10.5:1 static compression; those pistons came with pretty
substantial domes. So to whatever extent the static compression ratio
contributes to the power, it may not be up where it needs to be. The way I
understand the interaction between cam and static compression ratio, just
from what I've read, the "bigger" the cam, the more static compression ratio
you need to get the cranking compression up to make good power.
