349 CI on the cheap

Some questions from the curious youngester Bobby,

Did you put a race grind on the crank?
Did you lighten up the pistons any more then what they came as?
What brand and style pistons did you use and how much did they weigh?
Did you lighten up the rods?
Shave the heads any to get the bigger chamber sive shaved down to the 318s bore size?

Meant to say this earlier but if you did shave the heads it would increase the valve travel and start to hit the pistons so is there any way of putting deeper valve reliefs in the piston. I know this is boarderline crazy but just curious as always.

Thanks again Bobby for this post, I remember asking you about this type of engine but we didnt go into details.
