????????  Maybe I misunderstood. Any engine that uses the domed pistons 
HAS to use the hemispherical chamber head (same as 64-66 turbo) 
otherwise there will be interference with the domes pistons. In that 
case the heads are NOT the same. If you used these hemispherical heads 
with flat pistons you'd have a n 8-1 comp ratio rather than the usual 
9-1. That's a big difference in headfs. Teh domed pistons were never 
used in 95hp heads. Lon
