Default 454/330 to 496 stroker

Would these heads work ok? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...obalID=EBAY-US
If not does anybody have any other good suggestions around the same price? Also which cam would you recommend? I will be using performance manifolds or wet headers. I tried searching but couldn't find my exact setup and wasn't sure what would change. Motor will be all forged scat crank, pro comp rods and probe Pistons. Thank you in advance for any help.

When you put that combo together, don't waste valuable boating time running around breaking it in, just push the sticks to the dash right away. It's going to last 3-5 hours either way.

Would it not be a better use of letters upon a screen to offer this guy some cost effective suggestions to achieve his goals rather than whipping him with a limp pushrod??

Buy a good set of name brand heads bare and have them built.... with good castings and good parts, proper springs for the application and INCONEL is a MUST....

I will never again buy ANY head assembled and bolt it on my boat engine, cars not a big deal so much but a boat is different story....
