Actually, I don't mind the higher compression. It's a fair weather driver and pump 93 is plentiful here (near sea level). The machine shop ticket also states that the cam was sent to Effington Regrind in Effington, IL for a regrind. It provides no information on the specs of the regrind. It certainly has a smooth idle, so I assume it was to stock specifications.
I know the V8's moved to pushrod oiling in '64 for some, and '65 for all engines. What is involved in putting a '65+ head on this? I realize the intake manifold flange is different, but anything needed for the valvetrain oiling?
