441 heads are great for what you're doing. 993 are evn a touch better. I am running a van with an RV conversion (higher deck height etc) It weighs 7000 ibs with 1 occupant and 57 gallons of fuel. Engine is a std bore 350. Cam, has .447 lift intake, 461 exhaust, stock rockers, Edelbrock performer (2101) single exhaust @ 2.75 exhaust. Monolithic convertor and stock muffler designed for high altitude. I just pulled a trailer weighing 7,000 lb up to and back from Denver. I forgot to mention, I was loaded inside the van with gear and travel stuff and an extra passenger. Got 16 mpg average, worse being 13 mpg on the huge grades they have there. Engine dyno'd @ 330 hp, 411 ft lbs trq 5 years ago. We put it on the floor dyno and with 2.73 rear gears, it laid down 265 hp and 320 ft lbs of torque. You have way more then enough potential to achieve what you want. Keep it simple and you will get it. By the way, the engine now has 350,000 miles on it and just started getting a bit of blow by. Remember the mpg I just gave you? it's real and I can't complain even at 3.00 dollars a gallon (87 octane)
