Default Rebuilding my '65 Vette 327!

Alright, so I finally got off my ass and tore down my old 327. Here's what I got:

'65 Covette block, .020 over
Stock rods
Stock crank
Sterling 310P 8.7:1 pistons
'67 2.02/1.60/64cc Fuelie heads
Weiand single plenum intake

Now, I just have to go cam and piston shopping. I'm thinking about picking up a Crane 238/246 duration, .480"/.495" lift at 1.5 cam. Now, 2.02 valve heads love to breathe at .515", so with 1.6 ratio rockers I can get damn close at .512"/.528". Anybody suggest anything better? Naturally I'll be getting the block slotted for rollers while I have it in the shop.

Also, pistons, I don't even know where to start. Can someone explain to me the simple math to convert combustion chamber size, etc... into compression? I obviously want to stick something in there that's higher than 8.7:1 since I'm not going to be using the motor for stock drag racing
