He has a 283, so it is compressing a lot less volume into the chambers, so it will have a lower compression ratio than a 302 even with the smaller chambers.
Possibly shave the heads to raise the compression? That would cost a few bucks but may bump it up a little bit. 283's are a great sounding engine...I had a buddy with one in a '67, and for some reason it sounded distinctly different than any other SBC I've heard.
