reason i asked about the head gasket brand / part number is .027" is very thin, at 10.44:1 you don't need to pull every trick in the book for more static CR. by switching to Fel-Pro 8347 gaskets at .047" compressed it drops your static CR down to 9.95:1 and gets you more safety margin mentioned above. Edelbrock 7328 gaskets at .038" make 10.15:1

by changing the cam to the next smaller Comp 284HR and using the Fel-Pro 8347 gaskets your DCR is 7.75 and overlap is down to 64* which might just work with your existing rear gear?

but knowing how George feels about Comp cams in general, and his understanding of what makes a Cleveland cam i'm sure he can work up a custom grind that will shine if you're so inclined ...
