    Sound good, heads will work great. Top it off with a Proffesional Product dual plane cross-wind air-gap manifold and 750 vacuum secondary. ..... Oh yeah and cam XE268H from comp.
    Check out the combo I used to run listed of carb sizing. Try for a compression ratio 9.3-9.8:1 When you get your machine work done on the block, have it decked to 0 deck height which is most times 9.0 , but to make sure do a mock up first and measure at tdc the distance between top of piston and the deck. You will need a piston stop and a staight edge and some feeler gauges. Sounds like a lot but the gains in performance are worth it. 0-deck clearance and a 0.039 head gasket makes plenty power and reduces chance of detonation considerbly. You can also polish the combustion chambers to help eliminate hot spots that lead to detonation.
