On a BONE stock 1974 360 would it make much difference between the .028 quench Mr Gasket or the .054 Fel Pro?
Wondering if I should wait a few days for the Mr Gasket to come in the mail or if I should run to the 24hrs AutoZone and pick up the FelPros and wrap this job up?

I know the Mr Gaskets give more compression but not sure how much of a difference it will make on such a below the deck piston anyway

some pics of the block and head (drivers side)

using that calculator...and using estimated numbers like 70 cc head volume and only changing the head gasket thickness....I got 1/2 point change in compression .

a half point ain't earth shattering but is something & the wait would give you time to have the heads milled (I saw the pics ) for even more gain. EDIT adv the cam 4 deg while you are at it then dial in the dist subsystems. You'll feel it
