Your suggestions please, I am jonesing to build.

Your stroke is around 3.5, a stock 360 stroke is around 3.58. A 360 with zero deck flat tops and those heads and gaskets would have about 9.5:1 compression. So why yours is so high is strange. You might be able to just swap to different heads and problem solved. But you would have to measure what you have first to be sure.
