Ok so i have recently become the proud owner of a low miles (well 60,000 miles) E0 head for my 200ci. I'm trying to figure out what things to do to prepare it to go on. I already know that the direct mount 2 barrel swap is a must while the heads off. The main concern i have is milling it to clean it up. I have a stock rebuild 65 200ci right now. I am going to be turboing my bird in the very near future and so i don't want to run too high of a compression ratio. Basically I'm wondering about how much i should mill to get it between 8.5:1 and 9:1. Or would 9:1 be too high?
Also I have to take into account the thicker then factory headgasket which is the real thing that scares me as the 80s blocks were low compression blocks to begin with and this head is off a 250.
