I have a late (71/72) GT6 MkIII, USA spec, and I want to reprofile the head
a.  What Compression Ratio should I aim for and what combustion chamber
height would I need to skim down to in order to get it.
b.  I've heard that it's worthwhile gas flowing the inlet ports, I need to
do this anyway to match up with the inlet manifold, but I've read it's also
beneficial to take away some material from the valve throat areas - how do
I do this and how much from where
c.  I want to fit new carbs (after consultation with some of you on the
list) - what should I go for - stock 150, 175s, or what - I don't want to
have to remodel my bonnet.

Thanks
