If these are the old SBC heads (3970126) I believe they have 64cc chambers. Be very careful about porting, since some of the areas of the older castings can have very thin walls.

This '75 block, is it a 350? What pistons? There are a lot of variables that affect static compresion ratio. The more details you can offer, the easier it will be to calculate compression. As for final HP numbers, that will depend on a LOT of variables, including assembly. That's almost an impossible call.
