i totally understand the concept of not wanting to spend a boat load of money and using parts you already have but i don,t think the op understood what cp told him.as i posted earlier his engine will be a decent runner with the stock hp500 heads&cam BUT no way will it compare to the engine with a good set of aftermarket heads&cam properly sized for marine use.and nobody wants to have problems with their freshly built engine.no matter the direction he goes the proper tuneup including a fuel system that can handle the engines demand is vital or it can fail.all i am saying is a good set of aftermarket heads&cam will absolutly make more power than his stock parts will and anybody that thinks otherwise is either confused or in denial.

I can get heads and a cam but I have that 420 mega blower and chiller that I am going to use. I got rid of the 250 mega. Would aluminum heads be better especially cause of weight. Who would be a good place to get that 525 cam

If you went with new good flowing heads, cam, chillers, they might be on the borderline being a bit small CFM wise. With the stock heads, I think you'll be just fine with those carbs.
Will you be dyno tuning these engines?

No the motor is in the boat didn't want to pull it . I'm pulling the heads off though wanted to have them rebuilt . That is why I wanted to get a cam since upper end would be off . If I decide to use these heads should I change anything on them for better Flo or lift etc?
