Iron heads will not tolerate a lot of static compression ratio when using pump gas, so most fellows will try to stay around 9.5:1 these days to prevent detonation. This would mean a 124cc chamber and 17cc pop-up on the piston, or 123/18 or 122/19 or 121/20 or 120/21 or 119/22 or 118/23 or 117/24 or 116/25 or whatever to create a 9.6:1 static compression ratio. I would add the crank radius, rod length and piston compression height together and cut the block decks to that figure, for a zero deck. I would then use a Fel-Pro SFL1037 head gasket to produce a 0.039" squish/quench to minimize detonation.

Long-tube stainless headers (ebay) with either a H-pipe or X-pipe immediately after the collectors, mufflers and pipes to the rear bumper. Nothing sounds more hinky than pipes terminating under the vehicle and reverberating against the sheet metal underneath.
