Not Ranked
IF you have ever wondered why one motor makes 500hp but another almost identical motor only makes 475hp its usually because of the details. Your block being square or not, you need to deck. First the pistons are probably rated at 9.5:1 based at a 0 deck. This means if your pistons sit at where your saying .025" below deck that now your only at 9.03:1 compression. A little bit of proven info is that a motor with 11:1 and proper quench will ping less then a motor with 9.5:1 and a large quench. On a ford stroker motor you can count on an extra 5-9hp from doing it. As one person suggested you can wait until your pistons come in and square the block first then mill down to a proper height for your quench.
