I dont want to take the compression up to high or inhibit the flow with the 5.7 ltr
heads. Any input would be great.

The 5.7 head can be used.
my .02
I think all things being equal an LS6 head or the 01+ 6.0 head will make more power. the 6.0 seems to favor mid lift flow more than an LS6 head.
I think TEA has the best 6.0 head with their 2.5 porting. Their are others that are good too.

My heads are already milled .030 and I am wanting to keep them if possible to save on the expense of another set of heads. I guess I would need get some of the reverse dome pistons to lower the cr. Curious though how does the stroker increase the cr? Doesnt the piston still come up to the same spot as it would normally or does it come up a bit higher with the stroker crank?

Laymens terms: Yes it does. But it starts from deeper in the hole which means it has more air to compress into the same space = more compression.

Ahh makes alot of sense, thanks for the input.
a 346 is looking cheaper and better everyday... Seems to go stroker I'll have to swap heads and cam where as if I stay 346 Ill be fine with what I have and will save probably 2-3k in parts.

Not yet,, I have inquired to several people locally about a leakdown and they say it will be a waste of my money cause I'll have to pull the motor anyways. They are probably correct but I just got a compressor and ordered a leakdown tester so I can be sure myself. Once the leakdown is here I'll have a better idea. I kinda want to start pulling the motor but I suppose I should wait for the leakdown on the slim chance that it is a head gasket and not a bottom end problem.
