Thanks alot man! i had heard likewise, i just wanted to hear some confirmation. I'm new the whole engine building/chevy smallblock thing. I'm not plannin on gettin much more that 300-325 hp out of it. i think what im gonna do, is practice porting on a scrap head or two, then port the ones im gonna use. after a while driving it like that, ill save up and slap some new vortex heads from jegs on there. i dont wanna spend tons on the motor because im gonna have to buy a tranny/driveshaft/rearend as well to make this little conversion successful.

I'm sure glad i know how to weld! haha
