they're all supposedly the same at 76cc but take that with a grain of salt, Ford published data from the era was optimistic and today known to be suspect. production variations and subsequent milling could be another cause of chamber volume differences from head to head.

along the bottom edge of the head gasket surface near the exhaust ports there is a crescent shape that is said to be helpful in comparing if a head has been milled more than another, but the only accurate way is to measure the volume by liquid. i've also heard of a way to do it with clay but i'm not up on that method

when you say 'deep grooves' do you mean dishes in the top of the pistons?

you say more than 4" to the bottom, how close to the top do the pistons come, are they zero decked? 'rebuilder' pistons may be down in the hole quite a ways

I had previously 2 different heads in my 400 a 75 and a 73 and they had different ccs advertised, supposedly one with 76ccs and the other one with 74.6 cc, i had them milled by .0030 and when i measured them both were at 75 cc exactly, so its better to cc them to really know...
