Engine combo advice

Thank you again for the input, facts and opinions!! I do live at 5200 ft, but it only takes about 10-15 minutes to get to lower land, so my tune will have to either suffer at altitude, or maybe have a happy medium. If any of you are ever in So. Cal, the Rim of the World scenic highway is not to be passed up.

Regarding the higher compression slugs and cam, the engine is built, so that isn't going to change right now, though I took good notes for down the road. I could go with the thinner head gaskets, and shave the heads some more, but not sure if that will be worth the effort for the little increase I'd see.

I'm going to get her running and drive her before changes are made internally. I may be disappointed, or I may get what the bulld was intended for, a nice weekend cruiser. I want to be able to sit shotgun, look over at my boy driving, and feel proud we had great times together putting her on the road. I lost my father too early, and have cherished memories of time spent with him in the garage. The car has a great back story and will be kept for a long time. Upgrades may be done when the time comes. Now about the turbo.... ;)
