You pulled the heads in the boat? Will the cam clear the bulkhead when pulled? My 575 one more hard run from blowing out the gaskets. FYI, Felpros would be fine at your HP level.

Need a set of heads mine were trashed any one got any aluminum or any advice where to get some don't wanna spend a millions either

Be careful on your head selection as a lot aftermarket heads have raised exhaust ports. It can cause tail pipe alignment issues, not a deal breaker but just giving you a heads up.

Where do you boat?
