Default PISTON DOME HEIGHT VS CC'S

I AM USING THE "SMOKE-EM-UP" SITE TO DETERMINE SOME COMPRESSION RATIOS WITH DIFF SIZE HEADS, ETC. THE ONE THING I DON'T KNOW IS HOW TO RELATE THE HEIGHT OF THE PISTON DOME INTO CC'S.

IN MY CASE THIS IS FOR AN L-36 427/390. THE PISTON IS THE TRW L2300 (30 OVER) WITH A DOME HEIGHT OF .140 . HOW TO CONVERT THAT HEIGHT INTO PISTON CC'S???

ANY TAKERS???

THANKS, MARK

im gone to go with -14cc i looked at a few other pistons .180 dome and there -17cc and .080 dome are -7cc anytime you have a domed piston its always a negative number and when y ou have a dished piston its a + number,so id say your somewhere around -12 to -15cc,thats my guessimate. :D
