The stack of (1/2 stroke + 5.956"rod + 1.772" new Piston Comp Height ) is 9.478".
Since your 1972 block nominal block height is 9.480" which gives you 0.002" piston to deck clearance, now if your block had the decks machined in its previous life your builder might be concerned about the piston to head clearance .... this should ideally be between 0.040" min to 0.055" max with the head gasket you have chosen.
If the above is the case then he might have to machine piston crown to get correct piston to head distance, Valve to Piston clearance with your camshaft should also be checked if this is reqd.
