    Listen to Mr. McCarthy, he knows more about BBC's then anyone I've worked with before. He just went thru my 509 and "fixed" it. I purchased the engine assembled and it had the exact same heads you have, about 11:1 CR a solid roller cam and a few issues he found after he opened up the motor.
    I sold all of the top end stuff and Pat built me a motor that will run on the street and be fun to drive. If that is what you want, give him a listen. Are you in Muskegon? Not that far from Kawkawlin...

    Thanks for the input guys, well this is just a winter project that i'm trying to get back up and running on the street, after reading your input it looks like i will be putting in a more street worthy cam, and as for the heads yes one stud boss has been repaired, but thats about all i see right now. I just would like to get it on the street for next year than maybe figure out what i'd like to do with it. Or what $$$ allows me to do with it....

    a smaller cam may help but if heads are hog out on intake runners side at low speed they will not work very good with that intake . you would be better with a old iron 049/781 head re worked O port head s ....you never did say what gear or stall you had ??

    if thats the case and your do not want some thing your going to drive much what 10 and a 456 i guessing your not. just swap out the piston to 13to1s and run every thing but the small headers .run a stud girdle on the heads
