Other than the head, that's the standard Roundnose engine configuration.
Can't go wrong.

good to know the heads are pretty standard right, just depending on what compression you're trying to reach?

Not a bad idea to get a girdled head.

Yes, sort of.

Westcoast heads use a head gasket, I've had 4-5 head gaskets blow out before I turned to O-ring/girdle head.

the domes in good aftermarket heads are removable to reach different compression numbers. yours are probably removable, but as mentioned, its not an o-ring head.

To add to this, the reason its a good idea to get a girdled head is if you plan on getting a aftermarket pipe for it. Without it, the cylinder has a much higher risk of cracking b/c of the added stress.
