Those # look good Sam.
My 216 is around 125-127. It was rebuilt about 20 years ago. But, it was over-bored, so that would raise the compression now wouldn't it?
Thats just what I did before I moved to using mine as a daily driver.
At the time, I was trying to sell my "modern" truck. I checked just what you are. Sort of get a feel for how everything was doing in there.
Then, I drove it once a week to work, 35 miles. More and more often. Now, for over a year I have been driving it everyday. I drove about 8500 miles last year, and never had a problem. Other that those that come up with even a ten year old truck.
There were a few surprises. My engine mounts, turned out they were made of hockey pucks.
I was going to replace the wiring harness in my truck with a cloth one even. But saved the money. The only trouble I was having was at the ends of the wire runs, the insulation was cracked. So, when I had each connection undone to clean it, I coated the last few inches with liquid electrical tape.
Cant wait to see you on the road!
