milling heads for comp ratio increase

It's not all about the horsepower and winning every race for me either but I'm always running a tight budget and looking for the best bang for my buck.
I follow you. I could have put something bigger in my 66 for half the price or less. But like I said, what fun would that be. I could'a/ should'a pulled the original 273 out and sat it in the corner and put a 340/360 in. I wanted to build the original engine. That was fun for me even though it wasn't the cheapest option.
