Compression ratio should be 10.50:1 by using the KB calculator. The chambers CC'd in at 66 cc's after the head work was done. The intake runners were worked just a bit and bowl work got the main attention. Exhaust runners were worked over pretty hard as well as the bowls and short turn radius. The bump is gone.
I think the cam might be a bit too much with this set up.
Suggestions,comments?

Actually, near as I can tell you have a very matched set of parts. I suggest you keep it as it is. The 4.11s and 3200 stall go well with the F246 cam. Everything else seems in order, though I would have suggested forged pistons (truth be told my car has hypers as well).
Until I found them NIB with Moly rings for $100 on ebay. Couldn't pass that deal up.
I'm keeping the inner springs out until I break it in. Just got done wiring the ignition system and will finish the fuel system this weekend. If all goes well, I should have fire in the hole around the end of the month.
I have hypers for a similar reason. The only difference was that I was getting the whole longblock because the engine was a spare for a car that the guy no longer owned. After that I got another good deal I could not pass up ($800 for a crapload of cleveland stuff, including Super Comp Headers and a RUG-BJ1 toploader, which is a boss 351 tranny). The only problem with the headers is that snug is not the right word for the fitment, I guess that is what happens when you get equal length headers.
Enjoy your car by the way. Once I get mine back together (after several incidences the occurred a while back, but none dealing with the 4v engine I have luckily), I will be ecstatic to be annoying the neighbors once again. I am actually thinking of building it as a hold off car (1972 mustang coupe, not a big fan of the coupes, the 1971/2 fastbacks and 69/70 cougar eliminators are my all time favorite fords). I figure why keep throwing money into it when I am planning on getting a restomodded Pantera by the end of the year (the plan calls for a 650+hp cleveland stroker, along with a beefed up suspension brakes, and an immaculate paintjob).
