Engine build 400m

i know ive made a post about this already but that one is long gone and well. the 400 finally gave out on me today. oil pump went kaput. For those wondering i have towing in mind. but want it to be my show truck as well. so here is what i have came up with but i had a question.will the stock bottom end be able to take a mill of the heads(to bring compression ratio up) and a mild rv cam? let me know. here is the parts i have come up with

If you are going to go that far into the engine,you should look at changing the pistons.Look at Tim Myers website and look at all the available parts to modify and pump up that engine.You won't gain anything by milling the heads.
