Hey sounds like you're heading in the right direction from reading about your plans for the motor. Thing will move pretty good. I wanted a 360 stroker motor from the beginning but when I started pricing and doing a A-1( ported heads, etc.) build I was over $5000 very fast. I figured I have little over $1500 dollars in the plain 360. I bought a 360 short block from a friend of mine. But I had most of the parts already.
What Moper said about the KB pistons and milling them down is what was done to the motor I have now. A cam with a lot of overlap will bleed off the compression. A Performer or Air-gap would be a excellent choice either way.
