Baxter, your best street selection is still the Edelbrock 76CC heads. They can handle 2.190 Intake x 1.655 or slightly larger exhaust valves and this is much better than the Shelby which offers only 1.750" exhaust valve seats in the head...if your cam is very large you will have exhaust valve to cylinder bore problems using the heads the way they sell them. The exhaust seats will need to be changed for the smaller diameter valves you'll end up using if you know to check for the cyl wall clearance issue....if you don't, then later on you will most likely learn this lesson. Dove also offers heads but these wouln't be your 1st or 2nd choice for a street engine like you're describing..
Regards, george
