For an 11:1 400 you have the wrong head. Even with a max mill of .060 and a .060 overbore you will be seeing about 9.5:1 at most. There are plenty of high-compression 400 iron heads out there, find a set made from '67-'70 with 72 to 80cc and your 400 will have 11:1 with no problem at all. Casting numbers 670, 16, 62, 48, 12 and 13 are the ones to look for. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]
