I would imagine any set of alum heads would give you a very large power boost over the stockers you got on there now.

The edelbrock kit may give you more power then just a new set of heads because they make it all to opperate in the same rpm range so the cam/heads/intake will all work together. The came and valve train with the edelbrock set would also be matched up exactly which would provide more efficency and power.

h/c/i?? sorry its probably a dumb question lol. im not completely positive its a 347 i know it is .030 over because i had the heads off before ( i was trying the gt40p's) but not too positive about the stroke. how do i check that? darn i wish i coulda built this engine myself to begin with lol it sucks not knowing anything about my engine
