Do you want to make 350fwhp or 350rwhp? If I were you I would the 331 w/ their Pro-Lite pistons (flat top's) and run their AFR 185's. You shouldnt have a problem making them numbers w/ a setup like that. Also, are you leaving if EFI or are you carbing it? What manifold are you going to use? Do you know what cam yet? Didnt help alot but its something...

that's a a good kit i'm looking to get that kit also. before you get it i think you need to do a H/C/I setup to get it ready or do it at the same time.

here's a website that'll show you good heads...

I'd look at a set of Twisted Wedge or AFR 185s if you can afford them.

This was my DSS engine. It had about 50 miles on it and 4 oil changes. Started out with 60 psi of oil pressure and in the course of 5 miles had none. I won't get into all the BS that took place, but here are some visual aids if you can't read between the lines.

Go with CHP. Ive also been hearing bad things about their motors. I was going to go with a DSS Pro-Bulley long block from them but I was convinced by numerous people not to do business w/ them. So to everyone who saved me 4 G's!
