Worth it?

I completely rebuilt my 1964 225. The /6 guys on here were pretty much in agreement that an increase in compression gives the best bang for the buck so I did that. My engine machinist tried to talk me out of cutting the head but I insisted. I appeased him a bit by only going. O80 instead of the .100 I originally asked for. The overbore really isn't to gain more cubic inches but to restore good piston ring sealing. We're not building NHRA class racers here where every cube is needed. I scored the top of my bores with a new rented ridge reamer so they required .040 to clean up. Piston selection is limited fot the slants. I sent my cam to Oregon Cam and my lift is now in the .43-.44 range instead of the stock .375.
I'm very happy with the way it runs. I only wish I could've driven it when it was stock for a comparison.
