Before useing this head one other thing you need to think about. And that is what type/kind of pistion do you plan on useing a stock dished piston Or a a TRUE flat top. Yes it Does Make a Difference big time. hope this helps.}[oooooo]

i don't know what year head you plan on using, but the early 194 heads had siamesed exhaust ports. bit of a disadvantage as far as flow goes. would get you somewhere around 10:1 (maybe a little higher) on a 250.
There are at least 2 different stock pistons, low compression (full dish to top of piston), and high compression ( 'D' shaped dish to piston). There will be a .5 to full point difference in compression.
