Dove-c heads
Could anybody tell me what pistons to use to get close to 9.5-1 compression ratio with dove heads at zero deck height.

zero deck, and 9.5:1?? You sure? you need d3 heads. Something with a 25cc dish. If you are actually at zero deck. Most 460 builds aren't there.

I apologize i meant stock deck height, stock deck height, stock crank, rods, and dove heads. Trying to get as much compression/power with stock parts and pump gas.

Unless someone changed it, deck is probably 0.020+ in the hole.
