I’d spend the money to mill the domes and spin the crank before I spent it on the 2266 pistons and new rings(2295’s use 1/16”).
Also, with the 2266’s you’d end up at solidly under 9:1.

But I’m not the one making the decisions.

yes your right they do have 1/16 rings. are sure the dome is solid and not hollowed out ?. how thick of a head gasket to get it down to 9.1 ?

The shop I was working at in 1990 built a 440 for someone, and we milled the domes off the 2295’s that were used in it.
No problems with it at all.

Find 2 extra cc’s somewhere to add to the numbers above and you’re at 9.088cr(1027/113)

well worth it to cut the domes down then. you won't need a big camshaft which makes it a lot nicer to drive on the street. wonder if you even have to rebalance since your taking the same weight off each piston ?

Yes, you do

I think the deck will be closer to 0.055” on an uncut block. Don’t know what the valve trough volume would be, but Milling the 2295 certainly gives infinite CR options if you’re willing to measure and do a little simple math.
