Default 351W Setup

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!!!

that will make 350 no problem but you could save some money and order a set of bare 205 aluminum heads with a 58cc combustion chamber put in the 2.02 and 1.6 valves,springs,retainers, studs, and guides, and save some money, AFR's are way over priced IMO, my heads flow pretty dead even with the 185's and i payed almost half of what AFR's cost.
