afraid to use a calculator?

i'd rather trust my own math skills then someone elses website ...

Not an engineer so my math skills pretty much suck
I have confidence in my www.

when i get the head cc's, it'll make a good quick referance to rough in the cylinder height then we can confirm it.
what do you think of 8 or 8.5:1 compression on this 2056 with a 9550 cam? the more i read on jakes site the more it seems he goes for staying at that compression.
andy, what do you think of the oil full flow? have you ever done that conversion, this block is already tapped.
i guess i've been reading too much

That's the one I use. I've double checked it with my own calculator. It's accurate.
