Better acceleration?

Measure first and double check. Custom pistons with a taer compression height may be the answer to get a zero deck or close. With the milling already done the head needs to be cc'd to calculate the static CR. Better with a zero deck and a bit of a dish if required to keep cranking cylinder pressure compatible with pump fuel. With the small bore, I see no reason to be afraid of 10:1 CR. You probably want to be able to run 87 gasoline as I cannot foresee a big drop in fuel costs anytime soon.
which I did those measurements. Though I didn't get the parts back between the bore job and the milling of the block face, dry assemble and send back for them to finish. The 30-thou mill on the block deck was a wild guess on my part as to what I was gonna need milled off of the block, to get where I wanted this engine to be, and I tried to compensate once I had the block assembled and measured for piston position/ and then had the machine shop CC the head after the valve job, but before telling them how much I wanted it milled..... then I CCd the head once I had it back in my hands. The machine shop came back with 60cc chambers unmilled, and when they called me I did a quick calc in my head as I was driving when they called and that's how I came up with 70 thou off the head. The chambers came out (1) at 48cc, (1) at 49cc, and the rest at 50cc after that 70 thou "head shave".
I got this engine as a basket case at a swap meet, originally bought for the super 6 stack that was part of the package, was a "gotta buy it all to get what I was after"situation, and as such it was missing the pistons and rods.
I then bought a set of NOS /6 connecting rods from a popular die hard /6 racer over on the other/6 site, and upon dropping e block crank and head off for machine work I bought the 0.020 over pistons that the machine shop said it would need and the pistons I ended up with were the pistons I ended up with....
