<VV> Smog Heads -- 95 vs 110

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

And, for my last discussion point, I hesitatingly ask -- what is the 
difference?  Seems like back in Nov of 2007, nobody, and this included 
Bob Helt and Lon Wall, could precisly agree or explain some of the 
differences.

If they both used the open heads with the 95 having flat-topped pistons, 
and the 110 the "domed" pistons, what I want to know is where did GM 
find 95 horses by reducing the compression ration in the 95 motors from 
the earlier squish design?  Or, are the horsepower figures for the 68's 
and 69's simply bogus?

I know that different head numbers are listed in Clark's catalog, but 
what are the actual differences in the castings?  Are not all open 
chamber "smog" heads the same?  Are some more "open" than others?  They 
all "look" like 180 turbo heads, without the special turbo features.  If 
I had some some of each, I could cc them myself, but I don't, and 
anyway, if you've ever cc'd a batch of heads, the volumes are often all 
over the place anyway.

I do know that if you used "domed" pistons in a squish (quench) design 
head with a stock assembly technique, the pistons to head clearance is 
very small to negative.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Thank you,

Bill Strickland
