   If anyone has a couple of moments would they mind telling me if
my math looks right?

   This is for a 408 iron headed stroker, shooting for 9.3-9.5:1 compression

Bore Size: 4.03"
Piston Size: 4.026"
Stroke: 4"
Deck Height: 0.005"
Piston Ring Land: 0.3"
Piston Dome/Dish: 35 cc DISH PISTON
Head Gasket Bore: 4.18"
Head Gasket Height: 0.039"
Cylinder Head Volume: 55 cc
Cylinder Volume: 836.082 cc
Gasket Volume: 8.77 cc
Deck Volume: 1.045 cc
Total Volume: 936.021 cc
Engine Displacement: 408.17 cid

And I get a Compression Ratio of 9.37:1.

  So I need to go with a 35 cc Dish? (heads are 55cc, just had them CC'd by the porter).

  Thanks,
  Chris Bennight
