The '86 HO was 9.2, don't see why it would be any different for a SO... '87-up HO is 9.0, the .2 drop is because of the valve relifs in the later pistons, as both HO and SO heads have a 64-65cc chamber.

Hot Rod magazine Feb'87 states 8.9:1 compression ratio for 87 Tbird Sport in a comparison article vs Turbo Coupe. I read too much!
