What size are the combustion chambers on the GT-40 head? I eventually want to swap out my stock heads for some of these or another head but dont want to lose compression or maybe even gain some. I remember reading that combustion chamber size for '73 302 is about 58cc. I would even consider some late model 5.0 heads and have them worked. Are there any with 58cc chamber or smaller?

I don't know about other GT40* heads, but the Aluminum GT40Y heads are 64cc.
