  Righteo, so 4x4 stroke and bore with a range of 67 to 80 thou down the hole, a 78.8cc head and 40 thou gasket... ... youre looking at a best case scnario of 9.17:1 and a worst case scenario of 8.96:1 with 80 down the hole. A closed chamber 302 head at 58cc gives you a range of 11.3:1 to 10.96:1 with the same deck depths. If you have 8cc dish pistons its more like 10:1 with a 58cc head and 80 thou depth. What pistons you have will govern what you want to run, but I'd be going with the 302C heads regardless. 10:1 is going to open up your camshafts a lot better than 9:1, it'll go better and be easier on the juice, too.

  sounds like the closed chamber might be the go to wake it up

  but i have already bought the pistons

  If you can get zero deck pistons, go for it. Having to machine the deck down to suit your 0.080 below pistons just creates more problems like pushrod length, manifold alignment, etc.

  Yeah good point. The firewalls do love to flex, especially in the clutch master or cable mount

  Good score, that will wake it up more than any other single thing you do0.080 down the hole is massive, I will do some math here and now...
  
  4.030/2 = 2.015 (bore radius)
  2.015² x π = 12.76in² (bore area)
  
  0.080 x 12.76 = 1.02 in³ (volume of piston to deck clearance)
  
  1.02 x 2.54³ = 6.58cc (convert to cc)
  
  So you can add 6.58 cc to the chamber volume and piston dish, along with head gasket thickness (same calculation as above but use 0.040" depth) to calculate comp ratio.

  I believe EST on XFs was only on carby models. EFI got a different motorcraft system that ties into the EECIV computer.
  
  The XE EFI version had a Jetronic analog computer that may have had EST separately. If so, the Jetronic would be fuel only.@SPArKy_Dave may have the correct answer to this
