I have never adjusted valves nor seen it done. I do have a friend who is a mechanic and willing to help me with payments of beer/ammo/etc so if I dont have some skills he definitely does. So I guess assume I have medium-ish experience?
To get the lower compression that rules out the TF heads since they have the smallest chamber. Just based on all of the comments the TF heads are a better option for flow compared to the eddys unless I find someone to port them etc.

I think it’s better to walk before you run.

I think a hydraulic mid 240’s @050 cam with 110 LSA would be a good fit your total situation.

I realize that BluePrint cam ran on a TV show at Westech’s Dyno in California. But driving conditions can very from a dyno for pinging. You know the as cast Edelbrock head was actually stronger under 5000 rpm than the bigger flowing Ford head.

maybe a Edelbrock head cleanup from your engine builder would be a good thing.
