Does anyone know the dome volume of the stock 1970 LT1 Pistons?

I think this is the right link for your specs, looks to be around 11cc of volume. You also have to offset this with the valve pocket volume which is not listed at the Speed Pro web site. You may want to ask on the speedtalk.com message board for a decent answer.

The TRW equivalent of the stock piston is the L2304, which has a net dome volume of 2.4cc. The dome is .100' high and has approximately 7.5 cc, and the valve trough is about 5cc - taken together, the net is 2.4 cc.
This would reduce the combustion chamber volume in the compression ratio calculation.
