Budget 318 build

So what is a better mod to add to an existing 72 318 stock short that was modded with a 340-ish cam upgrade and 360 heads (decked and 3 angle VJ), DP aluminum intake and 600 carb;

1) A reworked short with KB's to ~10:1 CR
2) Toss the 360 heads, rework the 318 heads with a bit of porting, bigger valves, VJ, and slice the deck as much as I can go for more CR
3) Rework short and add 318 heads back for higher velocities

Forgot to mention, I have factory TC, Dakota exh manifolds (hate headers) and 3:23 gears

Number two and number three are the same.
If it were I .....
Rework the 360 heads and mill them down.
Then do number 1 with KB slugs and zero deck it.
Off the exhaust manifolds, as large as a pipe as you get on it. 2-1/2 would be awesome. “H” pipe the dual exhaust.
340-ish cam????

Ooooo boy! Actual specs would be stellar
