[v12-engine] 1971 V12 compression ratio?

In reply to a message from Norman LUTZ sent Sun 13 Apr 2014:

Norman Lutz said:-

SA denotes 9:1 CR. SB is 8:1 CR. The SB engines were for
the US and Canada Markets.<

That is not correct.

The first letter in the suffix denotes compression ratio.

Flat head engine:- S = 9:1, L = 7.8:1
HE engine:- S = 11.5:1, H = 12.5:1

The second letter in the suffix, A or B, denotes
bore/piston grade - differing by 0.001�.–
