Um..... I would not go with 205's on a 331... just my opinion. They are too big for a 331 street car. I personally would go with 185's and they would be perfect.

AFS's either way...


Trick-(you in to thinking they)-flow are decent heads for a budget build, but if you want to make horsepower, do it right the first time...

The biggest advantage to the TW's is that the valves aren't inline so you can run more lift w/o the clearance necessary for the AFR's or other heads and the valves are bigger than the 165's--which are $300 more.

I agree that a 205 head is too much for a 331. Bigger isn't always better, same w/ cams....
