I haven't read through this whole thread yet but aren't the open chambered 360 heads going backwards? Wouldn't #302 or a closed chamber 273 head be easier to build compression and quench? I think porting small chamber heads is a better idea than milling open chamber heads to get your 9-1 ratio. You mill the heads and the intake won't fit without milling and the two will always have to be used together.
True on the matched Intake and head mill parring. But he will never have any quench since the stock slugs are way in the hole.
