383 compression

I'm building a 383 with flat-top pistons(I'm not sure if it has 0, 2 or 4 valve reliefs) with a 5.7" rod length. I need some help in figuring out compression ratio I am at with different cc size heads. I'm looking at 74 and 68 cc heads, any ideas at what compression ratio I will be at with them?

I checked with the supplier of the motor kit, is should be around 9.75-1 with 70cc heads
