Got ripped off. Looking for a new idea for the inside of the engine. Stroker maybe?
Just to add my 2c I opened my 71 block .80 and decked it .010 but I did the same head work you did, used the Aussie long runner intake with the edel 500 and Clifford short headers. Sounded like a V8 while idling and had lots of power for what it was.
