    I just realized that your heads are 781's. These, along with 049's, are the best of the best iron oval port heads that Chevy ever cast up for a BBC. Using the right recipe, it'll be hard NOT to make 500 hp with them.........

    Look around for a shop with a good reputation who can install 2.19" intake and 1.88" exhaust valves in your heads (after measuring the ones that are in there now. Somebody could have already changed 'em out).
