Well, you got to big a cam for stock setup, but if you upgrade your valvetrain, new rocker's, springs, pushrod's etc, then you will be ok, but for compression you will need aftermarket pistons, and you might have your heads milled some.
Check out DSC motorsports they will have the parts you need.

Stephen, If price is no object (lucky b#st#rd) and you are planning on working the heads, then start with that while you are aquiring everything else. If you live within driving distance of Dothan, AL, email me. If you are doing an all out racer or street performer, money is no issue, and time is no issue...dude, what's the rush? Take your time and get it all right the first time. The only way you are going to know your compression ratio is know what kind of piston heads you have. If whoever rebuilt that engine didn't know to order flathead pistons in the kit, then you probably got dished pistons and that's going to hurt you on compression ratio. Even with those pistons there are things you can do to bring up your compression but not enought to make a hotrod.
