    Edelbrock makes a 70cc chamber aluminum head. I don't know what that would drop the compression down to but you can run a little more compression with aluminum heads. I'd try to keep those TRW pistons. You can also get 76cc Chevy heads that would drop compression even more. Look for casting # 3973487, 3973493, 3998993 and 3998997. These are intermediate to high performance heads.

    Ok I will check it out. Do you think a lot of what I need will float by on the parts for sale section of this forum or should I eBay it or shop retail? I'd rather know the parts I'm getting are legit, but still kinda on a budget, for now at least....
