The 20-22 Engle (226/230, 496/512 on a 110) would be good at 10.2 or better, Crane and Lunati make good Olds cams, too. Flat top pistons, 68cc chambers and .045 quench gives you 10.3 or so, pretty good for the 20-22. But cc the heads, they could be anything. And measure how deep in the bore the pistons are.
I bet that (overcam) was one of the problems with it last time, the guy told me he had a 455 cam in there.
I do have flat top pistons for it. 7a heads. A 70 350 block.
And as far as how deep the pistons are, when they are down or up?
