Hello thank you for the advise please have a look at the pistons and tell me your opinion , have in mind that my car is a 68 model but the engine casting number shows it was build in 65 so by that i found that the engine compression is 9.81:1 (1965-67)

with this kit i get this pistons http://www.hdmaddog.com/Ford-Lincoln...-p3678343.html

witch gives this compression Approx Compression w/54cc heads 9.49:1 guessing that i have the 54cc heads it means that am dropping down the compression of the engine , this is why i asked you about flat top pistons such as this

http://www.hdmaddog.com/Ford-Lincoln...-p9275977.html

witch give this slightly more compression 10.09:1 CR w/ 54cc heads
they also have the 2 eye brow reliefs instead of 4

thank you
