Default Brodix heads, too big for 306?

I have a set of these heads i picked up at a good price a couple months ago for a windsor stroker build i was planning:
http://www.m2race.com/product_specs.asp?ID=48

While i still have that motor i have been considering going smaller and more steetable for now for my mustang and was wondering if they would be too big for a street built turbo 306.

Any input would be appreciated, ive been thinking about the lmr forged 306 for 1500.00.

This is my first engine build and i dont know very much about the brodix heads, but if i could use them on the 306 it would save me from having to buy another set of alum. heads.


Thanks for any and all help.

Those in my opinion will be a little big for a 306 but if you upgrade to a 347,351,393 or 408 youll be good to go.

Those heads would like a ton of compression with the 306. But probably would not work unless you plan on running quite a bit of boost.
