427 build questions

[kx454]

Hello,

This is my first post here, so i would like to say hello. I am 22 and i am now just barely being able to fund my project car. my dad and i are in the process of building a 1952 willys aero with a 394 olds with three deuces, 5 speed Tremec, 4.11 gears, etc. It should be completed around May. which means i am going to start my car. its a 1956 Ladawri kit body in which i am building a chassis. Gonna run a straight axle gasser setup. pic at the bottom of the car i am basing my project off.

i am taking an engine blueprinting class locally so i will be able to get all the machine work done for my next project. I got a 427T motor for nothing with a good crank and in overall descent shape. Keep in mind i am on a college budget so i can't get to wild on price. going to go stock crank and bore .030 over. Was looking at the Sealed power rebuild kits in summit, pretty reasonable in price and looks like quality stuff what you think? Anyone run speed pro pistons?

i am going to probably run Eagle H beam rods, worth it for the L-19 bolt upgrade? motor will be turning over 7000 rpm?

One of my biggest questions is about heads, i have a set of bare iron ZLX heads, would have to buy valves spring etc for these. would i be better of selling these and buying used aluminums? also i have been cruising ebay and have come across Pro comp heads for about a grand, anyone have any luck with these? needs to be a pump gas motor so i know with aluminums you can run 11.1 comp give or take?

as far as valvetrain goes this is where i am going to see my expense go up. the car will see a mix of street and strip, but i want to make at LEAST 600hp. i am building a 427 cause i like motors that rev. do you think a comp cams solid roller at 714/.680 lift 278/282 duration at .050 will be streetable at all? i can handle a shitty idle, i am not real scared. what kind of springs pressure would i be looking at for this kinda lift 220# at the seat or so? what lifters seem to hold up best without going too nuts on price?

sorry for the long post but i just need some opinions. i befriended an engine builder with a dyno so i will be able to get the Kinsler injection (mechanical converted to electronic) tuned in for free. any suggestions would be great, the car will be a stick with 4.56 gears.
