Compression Ratio Chart
Here's a quick easy way to figure compression ratio on small block Chevy engines

I would only use that to get a very very rough guestimate of comp. ratio. It doesn't take into account variences in valve relief volume, head gasket volume, true head cc, and deck height etc.
There are too many different gaskets, pistons, heads and deck heights for that to be very accurate.

too many differences indeed, there were a couple different 305 engine pistons used, the L69 ones are alot different than the LG4 ones and then there were different CR;'s of 350's throughout the years, 8.5, 8.6 and 8.2 etc etc.
then the head gasket deal, some thinner some thicker, replacement composite ones being thicker than factory steel ones., and so forth,, |

Thanks for posting this chart. It certainly is helpful for deciding basic head volumes needed for small block engines for particular compression ratios. Variances or other factors can be addressed
for the particular engine, but this gives a great starting point. Jim |
