very mild 360 build.

seems like most want 9 to 1. no way is this thing getting to 9. lol

i think it should run nice. i was happy with it all stock with a 780 carb and headers. freshened up, small cam, right size carb, low gearset trans and a hair more gear I'm thinking should run like i want.
Thinner head gaskets will give a smidge up in compression, smidge, but that goes in the plus column. That and good three angle valve job mild cam its gonna be an edge up from what it was. Torque come in low scoot the small car along.
