318 combo

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered the Lunati along with everything else I needed. I'll let you all know how it goes. Thanks to everyone for all the advice.

What size valves did you get in your EQ heads? in my experience 2.02 intake valves take about 3.5cc out of combustion chambers.

When the heads arrive it is worth measuring the chambers and also how far the piston sits down the bore at TDC.

with some luck you might be able to get some .020" copper head gaskets to bump up your compression into the mid 9's.
