From the looks of it, that's pretty close to an H273CP, and those won't even get you 9:1 in that setup. Then again, it doesn't really matter because those heads are totally worthless, I have a set and I couldn't GIVE them away!

About 8.2:1. Like I said before, those pistons suck and the heads do too. A $25 set of E7s and some high compression CHEAP pistons would give you quite a bit more HP and a better running engine.

I see. In that case, I'd have the heads cut to 60cc and port them as much as possible, and use the summit pistons with an 4.03" bore with a 4.03" bore headgasket that has a .039" compressed thickness and zero deck works out to 9.6:1

That is how far down in the cylinder the pistons are when they're at TDC on the compression stroke. I measured my 5.0L at about .003" but it can vary.
