FelPro Performance sells thicker gaskets to drop the CR a bit, .039 and .051 compressed
Cometic has a couple thick ones too, .040 and .051 I believe.
Since you have to fix #8, might be good idea to bite the bullet and do hardened on the rest of the exhausts.
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.

I totally agree with Mike Andy, hardened exhaust valve seats are a must have these days with the lousy unleaded fuels we have. :p

Had Dave inspect the 915 heads that came with the engine and they are all messed up, bad porting, one had seats one didn't and one seat fell out , some welding in port like they went too far and tried to fix, and to top it off they are warped. Boat anchor's ? I keep thinking to myself "and this 440 ran pretty damn good like that too WOW" LOL
Plan B: taking my 906 heads off 426 in car now and freshining those since I know those were prepped properly
Mike has been helping me pick out a less radical but still solid cam for it , thanks Mike
