you could probably get the heads shaved down a little bit to raise the compression a little.you would probably have to get with a machine shop to find out how much.but im sure this could be done a still allow you to run pump gas.

We have sold many of these kits over the years. The Holley kits provide you with a good reliable combination that has been around for many years, as has the Edelbrock kit. I really don't know of any great, state of the art kits for the small block, but I can tell you the Holley kit works well. Bob
