Thanks George on the advice. I will add the Kasse heads to the list of considerations. I have indeed heard good things about them.
I already have the block. I hadn't heard any grumbling about staying away from the world products block, but I appreciate the note. I checked with my engine guys here in okc who are pretty accomplished and they didn't have any bad things to say before I bought it, and it won the engine masters challenge. I'm pretty sure it will be ok. I also already have the headers from Byars. I did select a head when I ordered the headers, like an edelbrock performer. pretty economical and easy to get 550 horse out of them with the right build, But at the time I hadn't found the alloy block, which was a big opportunity.
so I need to select a seat of compatible heads and a bump stick, and maker of the induction and engine management. more research to follow. thank you!!!
