Your compression would then be 6.7 to 1, yikes!

Put on those other heads right away if they have been gone thru and are fresh.

If your using a late intake manifold you will need to run the right intake gasket to seal up the bigger exh crossover in these heads as compared to the 6X heads.

Steve,
Just using your total number (123.8 cc's) I get 7.7:1 CR for a 30 over 400. Which is still very low.

But not knowing what he has is why I wanted to see what the cranking compression numbers were.
