The big problem with the Edelbrock's is the combustion chamber and the flow. It is basically a 1960's chamber with flow common for a 383 or so LS1. That is where the properly ported BT heads have an advantage.

The other is the carb, simple ignition curves, and no knock sensor. Net is your looking at a 482 or 496 with the power of a 347 or 366 LS engine with a hydraulic roller cam. Given that, I would go for all the cubes I could get.

Does KC recommend the Pond aluminum block over using the same money on better heads, crank triggered ignition, knock sensor, and maybe fuel injection?
