How about this 360 LA combo?

Well, I see some good ideas. I think I would goi this way tho:
The flat tops yeild too high compression ratios for my taste. 10.6ish static, little (anything bigger than .045 is too much to me) quench, and a dynamic of 9:1. at least .5-.8 too high for pump fuel. Nevermind cheap (read as teenage kid..lol) pump fuel. With a torquey cam, I would go a little lower. I dont use SIR rods for several reasons, and it's not worth a spirited debate, just my choice. I would buy a set of Magnum 360 rods (maybe find them free??) and run the KB232 piston, with the quench pad milled off. The reason for Magnum rods is, you will need to have rods redone anyway, and the pistons are designed for Magnum width on the pin end, which is narrower than LA rods. Run those psitons at zero deck with no quench pad, and with the right .039 composite gasket, you are perfect. On the heads, I would mill them .020 to get the chamebrs to 58cc. That comes to a 9.6:1 static, 8.1:1 dynamic engine that with a typical .480-type cam will make over 400hp, 450+ torque, and do it on pump 87. Cam choice will make difference. The XE grinds are made for higher low-rpm cylinder pressure. They will have a higher dynamic compression, but trying to get figures for intake valve closing point @ .050 lift from Comp is like pulling teeth. So I didnt calculate that with the Comp cams. I also run windage tray packages in all my small blocks. I would also drop the carb size down to 750.
