I am having the same type of build done to my numbers matching 1968 GTO 400 engine.
I am using my YS block, 16 heads, original cast intake, QJet, distributor, crank shaft and rods.
The piston brand I don't remember but the compression will be knocked down to around 9.5.
I will also include RAM AIR Restorations exhaust manifolds and PYPES exhaust with an X pipe.
Contact Paul for more info on his builds.
I just got an engine from Paul (65 -389) he really likes the Icons. We used ross in my 65 to get the dish right, but ICON and Ross are what he uses most.

The ross pistons were really nice , they were pricey but do it once. 25 cc dish to keep the compression down on my small chamber heads
