Looks like fun.

Maybe you already talked about this in another post, but what
all are you planning on doing?

Sounds like you're on the right path. None of that stuff on the bottom
end does much for HP, just strength. The compression ratio will be important
though. Are you looking to increase that?

Either will i increase com by machine the heads some. Or use other head gasgets to get higer comp. The only probleme if I am going to machine the heads, I also need to machine the intake manifold also.

depends on how much you take off the heads. you already have 10:25-1 compression, droping to a .039 gasket will be around 10:5-1, actually a little over. all you would machine off the heads is .010, this would bring you to 11:1 with a .039 gasket, no work would need to be done to the manifold with so little changed.
