I also did a light dingleball hone job on it. There’s still some pitting from water sitting in the cylinders but fuck it I’m gonna slap some parts in it and send it.
I think I’m gonna re-use the stock cast crank and get some forged rods and pistons, since it’s only a two bolt main. The pistons I’m getting should give me around 11:1 static compression. A bit high for a street engine but I’m banking on the cam duration to lower it down a
tad
bit.

Isn’t each compression point only worth like a 3% increase in power? I would think 11:1 is too much for a street driven motor. Even with 93 octane it’s gonna ping like crazy at high rpms which you probably won’t be able to hear over the exhaust. You also may have to run very little timing as well, which means that no vacuum advance, lousy idle, etc etc. I’d shoot for less compression.

Flat top pistons and 64cc heads will put you around 11:1 which is high for a street engine, though if you go with a thicker head gasket you might get it down into the mid-10's so it can run on premium pump gas. I’m at this same issue with my build as well, I’ve either got to push it with a thicker gasket and hope the cam works down some of the pressure or go with a 72cc head.

Can I haz some things off your XK motor? Fuel injection harness specifically even if it’s pretty crispy. Valve covers maybe. MAF maybe. The little intake trumpet thing maybe?
