Yeh, might want to confirm you want a pump gas motor. Similar motor to Cliffs and he runs 11:1 and states he runs 87 octane. If you are a sharp tuner, go for it.

Hey Slick! Been well. Happy Holidays to you as well. I have been lurking around in the street section for a while now. Always looking for good advise from the experts here. I just purchased the 74 GTO that was for sale on this site. Will be pulling the Butler built aluminum 496ci motor and putting it in the '71 Bird in my signature. Trying to decide if I want to make a few changes to it before the swap. Possibly a little more head cfm or solid roller lifters on the Hyd roller cam. Got some 1 7/8" Hedman headers coming for it and a Northwind intake.

That was a good deal.

For sure a great deal. The car is in my shop, but will likely be a couple weeks until I can get home to see it! I am going to try and sell the car rolling first. If need to, I will put my current 462 in it and try to sell it that way. Any leads on persons interested in this car would be appreciated. Car has a ton of nice parts on it.
My apologies to the OP for getting off subject. On that subject, I think compression between 10.5 and 11.0 would work well.
