Not bad ... the combination of heads and pistons are supposed to yield a 10.5:1 compression ratio ... think I'd go with different cams though ...

Also, since you're replacing the heads, there's no reason not to reuse your stock pushrods ....

Woods TW6-6 or Andrews 37 ... maybe Woods new 555 ... but, the Woods cams might be a little more pricey ....

With the suggestions I've made above, and buying the parts from Zanotti you can probably get all of the above for about ~$1,400 - $1,600 ... if you can do your own wrenching ....

Think I would be pretty reluctant to lay out that kind of money unless you were getting some kind of a package deal for maybe $2,500 installed ....

Sounds like fun ... good luck with the decision ....

I'm with SURFOR in this one. Reuse your oe pushrods since you will have the heads off already.

I would have Hillside or Head-quarters or T-man do the heads.

if you want mid-range power, HQ .575 or Wood 555. or T man 625.

if you go that route, have the pistons ck for proper valve clearance.

IMO building off of OE heads yields slightly higher port velocity.
