    your heads will not flow very good on this size engine they will fit and that would be it.this sounds about right BUT you will spend alot on the rest of the stuff. what HP rpm and tq are you looking for ? i have built a lot of the big block and bigger i can help you if you want

    i think any thing over 500 cid and you will want better heads you did not tell me the casting numers on your heads .the gm O ports heads are good for smaller builds BUT the ex port is not to hot. a set of 990 gm rect ports would work better there are may heads out there but the time you do your heads it would be better with a set the flow more . my old 572 i had to make headers for it and you would with you truck i think 2.1/4 to 2.3/8 tube is what you want , the prices on this stuff sounds in line

    Ya you are right about the heads .A guy I know said he has a set of rectangle ports for 800 dollars that will bolt on nicely to the big M block.How many cubic inches you running in the olds?I am starting to think I need to bring my sights down some,hell I still want to drive it down the street on a nice day.
