Pushrod length after milling heads

What YR said
what compression ratio is your target since you cc's the heads show the math
and what gasket?
Thick Fel Pro gasket you offset some of the mill job so you might get lucky- might not
trying to get a little more CR with a .028 or shim gasket "might not" is more likely
new springs?

My target is just above 9:1 or at 9:1. I am running a .474 lift Mopar Purple Shaft from my 318 if it wasn’t hurt. Using Summit’s CR calculator(I understand this is not completely accurate) I came up with about 9.58:1. The engine is bored 0.030 over, Pistons I measured to 0.045 in the hole, stroke is stock 3.58”, and pistons are valve relieved to 10CC. I plan on running a set of Mr. Gasket 0.028 head gaskets. The 0.050 off the heads I expected to bring it from 72CC to 62CC. I am unsure of the springs as the guy I bought them off didn’t know much about them. It looks like they have a valve job done recently, but the shop is going to check coil bind on them
