It went into a 72 D-100 LWB work truck so I merely left it as it was with the lowered compression. It performed fine as I wasn't trying for high performance, just top-end on the highway.If I kept my foot light it would get great mileage and the heads w.larger valves let the cylinders get a good charge with the 4-bbl when I did put my foot down.
Basically its a poormans 340, shorter stroke with larger valves. Higher compression
would just be a matter of personal preference
