On one of my cars, '31 SW TS, I'm running a Snyder's 5.5 milled .100 which probably gets it up to 6 to 1 or maybe a little higher. Works great. On this engine, like yours, the pistons don't protrude above the block - something to be aware of before milling. So, I'm saying, you don't have to wait for the Snyder's 6.0 head. BTW, I've used "B" head gaskets for many years. On this one I'm using the "modern" silicone impregnated "B" gasket. It's been a couple years and probably about 7,000 miles - no problem.
