#3's are usually 5-6cc smaller on the chamber. I just used a set of 2's on a 76 350 and ended up around 9.2:1 last summer.

I don't remember the valve sizes off hand.

Richard, before you put it back together if you want to have a matched set I've got singles of both castings. Since money is tight for you, have you got any trade stock?

Each trade one, and you'd both have a matched set!!
