dimora,

I got the same vehicle as you except mine is a four door.
I started out with a 351 and ended up with a 408. I have pretty much the same parts as you. I don't have the aussie heads though. I have flat top pistons instead and my heads have been mill down. Origionally I thought my block was zero decked at the machine shop. Turns out it wasn't, I think in the end I running somewhere around 9.5 to 1 CR. I have problems with pinging on 93 octane, occasionally I get 110 octane from the speed shop. Big difference.

I think you will pleased with the results but you might want to invest in some headers. I was told by Danlee on this site, that without headers the camshaft we have loses its potential because it the exhaust is not as free flowing as it could be.

In the end I wound up with a ill mannered car that scares the hell out of Honda's. Good Luck.
