Thanks Keith.

Now I'm kinda taking a step back with head choices. I had initially planned on using some iron heads...but after sticking some flow numbers that I've found for various heads (C8AE-H, 427LR, 428CJ), most of them just don't seem up to par with the Edelbrock pieces.

After finding out what it would cost to port a set of iron heads to flow reasonably well, plus surface the decks, mag them, etc....I think it would be worth my while to invest in the aluminum heads...then I could run another 1/2 point in compression and not worry about machining costs.

I've seen LR and CJ heads in the $500-$600 range...but who knows how they've been treated....and they'd still have to be gone through.
