Piston/Performance Build Up Help!

I recently had my 400 rebuilt, also on a tight budget. I had my 452 milled .060". Just make sure for every .010" milled off clyinder head face that .0123" is milled of intake side of the head.... I had to take mine to a couple of different shops before i found one that could do this for me. that should put your compression around 9.5:1. I also used MP steel shim head gaskets, engine runs much stronger and has more grunt down low.
