For you BBC guys: As far as the merlin heads... I guess they're OK... However, I opted (and would recommend) to step up to a dart big M block and dart pro1 heads and make a ton of power from my fuel injected, shafiroff-based 540.
That sounds like a good combination. But I think this time I might go with a stroked SBC 427 in all aluminium.And a 5 or 6 speed
