I think you could easily run 89 octane with 9.1 CR and aluminum heads.

Also confuse don the specs. Valve sizes are wrong, as well as head chamber size says 218 cc.

The emi's should be fine, but you need to find out what the lobe sep is on the cam to make sure. It needs to be 110 or higher.

Lobe on the cam is 110 and you are right the heads should be 110, which is going to bring the ratio up to about 9.8:1

Not too crazy about a used engine, don't want to buy someone's headache.
