Opinions on low end 360?

Make sure you use the thick gasket under the TQ to keep it properly cool and at the correct height for the choke to operate.

Milling the head down for more compression is OK to a point. Then the intake becomes harder and harder to fit. You need to cc your current head and then do the math on the milling specs and final cc amount to arrive at the ratio you want. Considering the Comp Cam recommended cam, (or that smaller cam I mentioned) I wouldn't go to far.
