Tall deck options

[Grumpy]

Ok so far guys I have bought a 6.535 connecting rod. I'm trying to find a piston (preferably a dome) to bring up my compression ratio to 10:1 - 11:1. Keep in mind I'm using the stock oval port 113cc heads. I'm not sure if they are open chamber or closed. It is written on the heads 366. #473328 on one head. #336781 on the other. Please keep it simple. I need to know what piston specs I need to find. Summit Racing and icon Pistons both have given me formulas but Fast talking leaves me confused. I understand my stock compression height is 1.765. I am getting conflicting information because one says my compression ratio will be close to 9:1. I don't know if that means flat tops or Dome. I have thought about getting the original L88 Pistons.I don know. I was told I should be able to use them and other passenger /performance Pistons because I've already made up the .400" difference by using 6.535 rod. Later on I plan on changing the heads to an upgrade. But I want to be able to have decent Pistons that clear the stock heads and valves. I say this with respect, you old timers should know the formula so I can then use it to figure out what piston I can use whether it be flat top or Dome. Again please keep it simple. I am not building a stroker engine. I'm building a 427 tall deck engine with a 550 lift cam. Thank you for your time.......again.

with a tall deck block deck at 10.2" and a 3.76" stroke crank and a 6.535" connecting rod

remember deck height 10.2"
minus rod length, 6.535"
minus 1/2 the crank stroke length 1.88"
equals the piston compression height. 1.785"


this is an excellent example of why doing the math before you purchase parts is so important
