Ah, so it would be more than the 4cc for the valve reliefs. It's possible that the photo is not the actual 307 piston and may not have the chamfer.

I haven't had my head off yet to do some measurements on the factory head gasket, deck clearance or piston cc. When I play around with the compression calculator to try and achieve 8.1:1 SCR I assume 76cc chambers, .015" x3.875" gasket, .005" deck clearance and that comes up with a 16cc dished piston. Is that about right for the stock piston?
