Damn, thats gonna be some low dynamic compression. Have you thought about swapping heads and bumping up the compression for a little more low end?

were doing it ourselves, and well, its not going to take much i dont think, were getting the motor mounts, and we have a racing lift so we can tilt the engine to fit, and we will mate the tranny up after motor is mounted, the only problem we cant figure out is headers! everything else (be it ironic) fits better than the 4.3l with the supercharger on it!
