Subject:      performance engine question

I am about to send my stock 1600 case to the shop. I was thinking of getting a performance rebuild kit It will be a 1776 stock kit with a 110 cam substitution. The Heads will have 39mm intake and 32mm exhaust valves all with heavy duty springs. My question is, will my compression ratio be all messed up and will I need shims to clear up this problem. if I need shims how do i know what size. Thanks for any help. Tim Flagstaff, AZ I don't want a race car just more power 1971' 1600? bus
