Thanks everyone. Since I really don't want to deal with custom fir headers, the AFR185's seem to be the best fit. If I have the heads milled .012, deck the block for .001 clearance, and use the Fel-Pro .039 compressed head gasket, my compression is till 10.784 (static)) and 9.3 dynamic.

I'm using the Ford X cam (.542/.542 lift, 228/228º duration @ .050) and 48 IDA Webers. This should make a healthy engine with nice street manners but still have enough grunt do well with an occassional outing at Willow Springs.

How does this combination sound?
