Changing Compression

If we put a 240 head on a 300 six, how much will it raise my compression?

It depends on the size of the combustion chamber, in relation to the stock one. If your stock was 100cc, at 8:1 compression, and your new chamber is 50cc, you will have a new ratio orf 16:1. That would make some power.

Welcome to FTE. But dude, this and your other two posts are in the wrong forum. You will have much better luck further down the page in the 300I6 forum.
