Default New 460 Build

Before I get too into my post, I am fairly new to engine building and I have always wanted to do a scratch build so please bare with me if I sound like I don't know what I am talking about because I probably don't hahaha.

[Background on the project: I intend for this to be a streetable engine but I would also like for it to run with (and on occasion beat) the big boys on the strip. In other words, I am going for the most performance possible on pump gas.]

Anyway, I chose the Ford Racing 460 Super Cobra Jet block as my starting point for this build. However, I am somewhat confused as to which heads I want. Ford Racing in particular offers a few heads that caught my eye. They are the High Port Head, High Port NASCAR, GT-40 Turbo Swirl, Z Head, and the Super Cobra Jet heads. However, I am not quite sure if 1) Which ones will actually fit the block and 2) What the differences between them are. If you could help me out by answering these two questions I would highly appreciate it. Thank you!
