It looks like a nice combustion chamber shape. No relief for the pistons so you must use pistons that don't come up over the top of the block at TDC. Looks like it may be 7 to 1. You can just measure the volume of the combustion chamber to calculate the compression ratio.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
