    if money is not a big deal pull the engine out and bulid a 496?? and buy a good set of heads? the stock heads will work very good for what he wants the edelbrock will work good but out flow ?the stock heads for a mild bulid up will work good. this would be up to the guy with the wallet.a good set of iron heads will work just as good as the aluminum heads. theO stock ports work very good. do not be putting a lot of money in them like i said the aluminum will be ligther as for cutting the heads you can cut the stock heads to . for the money on the edelbrocks heads . if you heads do not need a lot of work take the money you would spend on the heads and run a roller cam . big valves for the smaller big blocks are better for hi rpms i have never seen it or felt it by the seat of the pants on the 396-402 but every buddy and there brother think they need big valves. the in take big valves may not be so user friendly on the small 396-402 bores
