Combustion Chamber Size on L98?

Does anyone know what the combustion chamber size is on stock L98 heads? Is it 64cc?

No, I believe they are 76cc heads on L98 350's and the 305's had 58 cc heads.

64cc for the L98 iron heads, 58cc (+/-) for the L98 aluminum heads.

Hmmm, that's interesting, I was told that 76cc was the stock L98 cast iron head, that's why they have like 9.5:1cr. I think you're right, maybe the stock pistons are dish or flat top pistons......I can't remember.

76cc are older heads, whoever told you they were 76 was wrong.
