    If it didnt have pistons to start with, it would add quite a bit.

    even thow they are flat top pistons, you can still order them in different compression ratios.

    It probably had flat tops to begin with. Most were about 10.5 then.

    A flattop piston and a 64cc head will yield about 9:1 compression.

    The high performance 327s ran domed pistons.
