Default 351W Need Advice

Putting a 351W into a 66 Ford Mustang. So far have a detroit locker rear end with 3:73 gears and going to be rebuilding engine this week. Am hoping for suggestions on a build between 250-350HP. Starting with internal engine upgrades so that I can do that while I'm learning to rebuild engine and can do bolt on's later. Currently looking for aluminum heads but lost as to what to get for this build. Any links or suggestions are much appreciated!!!

High compression pistons, new rings and bearings. Then I would throw a set of aftermarket heads!

do you think your going to be going for bigger power later? If so get a little larger head then you would need for the 350 hp.

Alsocheck out edelbrock they sell top endkits that will be all matched in their rpm range and you will know exactly how much hp your going to be looking at. I feel like akit is a good way to go if your not going to be doing anything crazy with the motor like super high horsepower or real high rpms. They are under the power packages tab on the edelbrock page, and i am sure you can find them on summit or jegs if ya look.
