I can't just give you a number for chamber volume. There are many other factors, large ones being how deep the heads were bored for the 94mm cylinders, head gasket thickness, and deck height, for example. See http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/valvejob.html for excruciating details on how to "cc" combustion chambers to set compression ratio, as well as a spreadsheet to calculate it at http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/cr_3100_ml.xls . If that site doesn't do it for you, see the other incarnations of my engine where I repeated the process with 95hp heads, for example, at http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/95hp/ , http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/phoenix/ , and http://www.n56ml.com/corvair ...
