Which heads have a lower cc?

I have a 69 327 that is all stock. Are there any heads I can put on that have a lower cc (lower than 76cc) that came on any 3rd gens? Which casting numbers or year/CID combos should I look for? I'm looking to increase the compression ratio w/o getting into the short block.

Check out vortecs. Any heads from the 3rd gen are restrictive.

I believe most vortecs come with 64cc, for stock heads they're a nice upgrade to the stockers or any other smogger head.

With the vortecs, dont I have to have a special intake for that? This is going to stay carbed, is that ok? What did the vortecs come on?

Yeah special "vortec" intake. Lots of information on these threads on TGO/google. Carbed is fine. The vortec heads came out of '96-'00 I think trucks, tahoe, and similar GM vehicles.

Like I said though a ton of information on them.
