    I Have A 72 Block Uncut And 67 Heads Cut 30. If I Use Steel Gaskets With Postons 10-1 Pistons What Compression Will I Have.and Can I Use Steel Gaskets? Would Like To Be At 10-1 Or So.

    Need more specifics. What is the measured head cc? What is your measured deck height? Piston cc? Gasket thickness and hole diameter?

    The .020 steel gaskets won't work on a 72 block,unless it was a carry over from 71.If the water jacket holes are oval and not round its not a 71,so you have to use the .o40 felpros,or get the .027 cometics
