You're at about the compression as me and I have ran pump gas with no problems
71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it. 67 Belvedere that worked it's way in the 10's

Maybe! If it was mine I'd buy a few cans of Hot Rod 102 and start off with a 50/50 mix and then work my way down from there. Keeping things cool helps a lot so it might depend on the weather too. What Mr. F says. But I'd bet that with that quench, the aluminum heads and the cranking pressure it will be all good.

With that converter you will be golden. I agree... with the stat and the conv you shouldnt have any issue.. I run a W-2 head with 10.6 and on the road I run 87 octane and even get on it a fair bit...at 900' to 1000' local but in semi light car with a 5000 conv and a 4.10 gear.. I dont think you have any issues

These are iron heads, correct? If not they fooled me If so good luck on using any pump gas less than 100 octane with that much compression in your area If aluminum heads you may get away with that compression and pump gas without ethanol, maybe not on a hot day
