what are you running for a compression ratio for the motor with this work?

Honestly I have no idea somewhere between 8.5 & 9.0. Impossible to tell without actually measuring the CC's of the chambers

Is the head gasket thicker or thinner than stock?

then with the machining on the block and heads, it seems like it would have a higher compression ratio than stock. not a bad thing.
10-10.5 might be good?

I seriously doubt its that high, I'd say 9.0 max, and no its never a bad thing these AMC motors really need a bump in compression

Will be going with another projection kit like the one on the red Jeep.
I know these things a pieces of sh!t but its been working on the red Jeep and I had the system on the shelf so why not give it a try. If it doesnt work I'll probably give a GM TBI junkyard set-up a try.
So this is where we stand, intake is bolted down, Edelbrock headers are bolted on, throtle body is on, motor is primed, roller rockers adjusted, all I need to do now is hook it up to the tranny and drop it in.

Hydro steering I assume? Will you be using double ended or single ended rams?

Single. There simple to set up and cheap to buy. Probally just get a few of the 2" boar 1 1/8" chrome rod tractor rams like on the Jeep. Bolth of us are going to use some 2" solid 7075 ALU for tie rods. Thats ALU is like a rubber band, you hit it and it bounces back.
I was a busiy bee today, I got alot of the lower link tabs made. I'm not happy with one set I made so tonight ( If I'm feeling better ) I might make a hole new set. No worry I will use those on my axle's
