CR help
I am just trying to get used to the calculator, so trying stock CR.
Where am i wrong.
Cylinder head Volume (CC) = 54.40
Piston Top Volume (CC) = 0.00
Cylinder Bore (Inches) = 4.0
Cylinder Stroke (Inches) = 3.48
Deck Height (Inches) = 0.030
Head Gasket Thickness (Inches) = 0.039
Computed Compression Ratio is 11.4 to 1
Thanks for the help.

In the piston volume (which means Valve reliefs) put 4-6CC's maybe 8 and see what you come up with.I know the stock pistons have 4 relief's but I have never bothered to CC them. The number for piston clearance is a + .030 which means it is in the hole .030.The compression for an LT-1 is 10.5X1

Now looks better.
Cylinder head Volume (CC) = 54.40
Piston Top Volume (CC) = 7.00
Cylinder Bore (Inches) = 4.0
Cylinder Stroke (Inches) = 3.48
Deck Height (Inches) = 0.030
Head Gasket Thickness (Inches) = 0.039
Computed Compression Ratio is 10.5 to 1
would be stock CR
If i went with
SRP Forged Piston Set Reverse Dome -24cc
4.030" bore x 3.48" stroke, for 5.70" Rod
machining to a 355, at stock deck height would result
Cylinder head Volume (CC) = 54.40
Piston Top Volume (CC) = 24.00
Cylinder Bore (Inches) = 4.0
Cylinder Stroke (Inches) = 3.48
Deck Height (Inches) = 0.030
Head Gasket Thickness (Inches) = 0.039
Computed Compression Ratio is 8.8 to 1

That compression is ok, just make sure you don't end up with a quench height of .069" like in your example (.039 gasket + .030 deck height). Any reputable builder should know this but just thought I'd give a heads up before you start buying parts. I'd shoot for .035-.045 quench to get the turbulence up and help fend off detonation. Just a FYI.

Thanks mindgame,
I am trying to look into everything before getting into the rebuild, and i am not familiar myself with quench. Those are stock specs so, if i was to go with the felpro 1074 (.039") gasket, i should deck the block/head to reduce the height, which would help quench in a boost application. Stock valve clearance problems?

Thanks Rich,
So it looks like with the setup above and zero deck;
Cylinder head Volume (CC) = 54.40
Piston Top Volume (CC) = 24.00
Cylinder Bore (Inches) = 4.0
Cylinder Stroke (Inches) = 3.48
Deck Height (Inches) = 0.000
Head Gasket Thickness (Inches) = 0.039
Computed Compression Ratio is 9.4 to 1
which is now running a bit high for FI, and i was looking for around 9.0.

Same calcs with the -31s and you're at 8.8:1.
Are you using a virgin block (4.0) or is this a rebuild/rebore? I assumed 4.030 for my calculations.

I will be working off a stock probably high milage block, either mine or might be picking up a used long block. So i noticed most of the SRPs are for 30 over, and thought to go ahead on a used block and bore it out. I didnt see the 31cc, thanks, sounds like the best option.
Bore block 30 over
Machine to zero deck
Felpro .039
Eagle 5.7 forged rods
SRP 31cc dished pistons SRP-37557-31 (are those for stock stroke?)
JE hellfire ring set
federal mogul bearings
Sound good?
Thanks guys.
