I had that checked the last time the heads were done.  They said 78cc which, as I now think about it, I did some research which indicates a low value of 88ccs for a 452 head.  I'm going to have them check that again. That makes about a point difference in compression ratio. I'll bet it's 88, not 78.
The other problem I have is that I am not sure what piston is in the engine now so I don't
 know it's compression heigth. Makes it hard to determine the actual deck heigth.
