You need to find out what gen those heads are - as mentioned the reverse flows won't work w/o extensive work(casting #) The pistons are STD bore and in fantastic shape(part#464664) $75 I might even have another set not as good for $40. If you want the rods also (5.7 X rods) I will hang them on the pistons for $150 total.
You will be sorry with those. The motor will fall on its face and won't come alive until you get in the upper RPMs and then you will run out of cam before you get their.
ive decided to build my motor right, im going with 383 stoker kit from scat (all forged) and hopefully run some 150 shots all said and done
That seems to be a very common mistake on people building street cars, putting on too much head. I have a very stout 383 and a nice Hyd roller cam close to .600" lift and only run a profiler 195cc. Govs and gobs of torque and power to 7k all day. Unless is an all out race car and you you are going to live in the upper rpm stay away from big heads. Do some studying on port velocity and you'll see what we mean. Street cars are all about compromise. Hp doesn't get the car moving torque does, smaller runner = more torque= more fun on the street with increased drivability.
Oh yeah one key thing to remember, we have all been in your shoes and have all had somewhat overly high ambitions at that time as well. Many of us made mistakes and built some dogs. It's all about learjing. The key here is to learn from what we already know and save yourself the agony.
BTW I and u am sure many others here are included in this statement are very happy to see someone your age with the ambition and drive to get into this stuff. So take your time, do your research, and do things right. Like ive said in other posts it seems there's never enough money to do it right the first time but there's always enough to do it twice. Think about it

thanks mebe007, im gonna run a cam that has a 5.01 intake and exhaust lift and i think its a 244 duration which would work with my 3000 stall converter from what the Comp Cam website said. my heads are rated at 5.50, im gonna stick with 1.5 rocker arms aswell but thanks ive been taking everyones opions in consideration, my boss told me "Don't reinvent the wheel" lol
