I am pretty sure that the compression ratio for that engine should be 8.8:1. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I am almost 100% sure that it is.

What are you asking for in the combustion chamber? The bore of the engine or the displacement in cc or what? If you looking for the bore it is 4.00.

cc of the head combustion chamber. i picked up a 351 roller motor and cant decide to leave the stock pistons in it or use better since ill be rebuildin it. i think ill put different pistons in it if thats all the compression they have. ill be putting it in my mustang with aluminum heads and some other goodies.

The heads are E7TE's - which are either 64 or 67cc's...somewhere around there. I'm sure you can find it easily through a google search on E7's.
