Default Re: One of ? L89 Nova for sale at Russo and Steele

I still don't understand why an open chamber (074) cylinder head is being used on this engine, when all the 1970 big block L78/L89 production engines would have used a closed chamber (842) head and piston combo to come up with the designed 11.25:1 compression ratio?????
What am I missing here???
