Re: compression help
a 350 bored 40 is 357. A flat-top piston with proper piston-to-head clearance puts you around 10.4:1, so you'd need a large cam, something like a 230 at .050" or larger. About a 12cc dish would be around 9.8:1, so something like a 218 at .050" or larger. Vortecs and domes are really really unwise.
