google it. i have the heads but i forgot what chamber size. i think its either 64 or 58. those numbers stand out to me and if you know your stuff its the number that will make the compression lower. i THINK its 58.

only if they are off an explorer...
Cobra GT40's are ~64cc
Exploder GT40's are ~66cc
Exploder GT40P's are ~58-59


they will give you 9:1, 8.8:1, and 9.5:1 compression.. respectively
