Re: 427 Rebuild
I used the TRW 2300 small dome forged pistons with my .030 over 427 with 840 heads (hardened exhaust seats.) I used a fairly radical hydraulic cam for the "rump" at idle. I used hydraulic cam, because I'm too lazy to periodically reset lash. (with an A/C car, you have to remove the upper compressor bracket to get the driver valve cover off...passenger side is no picnic, either.)
Theoretical compression is 9.73, but dynamic is somewhat less. I have no problems with 93 octane pump gas.

Re: 427 Rebuild
As long as you can keep the hot spots to a minimum on the piston crown (coat with one of the new coatings) and get a good quench area between the piston crown and the cyclinder head so as to get good movement of the intake charge you should not have to worry about preignition (colliding flame fronts) even with 11 to 1.

Re: 427 Rebuild
No markings to tell which vehicle had them originally. The 074's could be from an L-88, ZL-1, or if I am not mistaken and L-89 Vette, Camaro, or Chevelle. The dates are in range to be any one of the above...
Oh and Please turn off Caps lock, we don't like yelling around here.

Re: 427 Rebuild
Jeff,
Listen to this 60 over 396 bigblock it has a 750" lift solid roller cam. It is a little on the ridiculous side for a street car especially since it has 13 to 1 compression, and a jetted out 850 double pumper. 69 Nova running

Re: 427 Rebuild
The L-89's all had closed chamber and L-88 vetts had closed chamber till around serial # 21,000-22,000 of the 69 model year. Then they went to the open design.
