Yeah that makes sense, 9.5-9.75 compression with iron heads is good for pump gas, get a decent gear and a decent converter put a cam that's in the mid 230s duration at .050, if you want a real tame tire fryer put in the tiny cam RRR mentioned, it might be a good sleeper but will run out of steam around 5000 rpm but for street only that's great 3.55 gear will probably be best unless you like a lot of freeway driving
