I think I'd take those aluminum heads.
They are an older design I think but for $600 they could be a good deal.
I wouldn't try to use them anything bigger than a 306.......

Yah I'd take those aluminum SVO's over the GT40's. With some good negotiating you could MAYBE get them close to the price of those GT40's (which are very expensive, IMO)
