74 power wagon dream truck...

I have enough heads, that I think I can adjust for several points of compression, with selective head gaskets.
I managed to get my last flat top engine down to 10.8 static and it ran on pump gas, that was with 58cc heads. Look real hard at the intake closing on the cam, that will make a difference in dynamic compression. (real world).

I just want to make it simple and try and keep things a little more simple... With the overwhelming amount of work I have to do on this truck namely every last nut bolt and so forth trying to figure out how to cheat my way into having flat top pistons is just completely off the table...
I'm just going to buy a generic felpro 360 gasket kit that'll have a 8553 gasket. Just having the stroker kid in there as opposed to the stock 360 is going to give me more than I'm going to need for a daily driver... I've already went down the cemetic gasket route with my duster trying to lower the compression and it still wasn't enough. And those were what over $100 each...
