Well after looking at the zz383 I'm thinking that thing would be a perfect drop in lol. Sure would save a lot of time and aggravation. Unfortunately I'm broke as a joke and will have to piece something together a little at a time as funds allow. I like the fast burn heads but was wondering if the 62cc chamber would be a problem when selecting a piston. The general has the CR at 9:1 with them but I'm not sure what piston they are using. I would like to go forged for sure. Also was looking at some edelbrock alum. heads, any thoughts on those?

I have the E-Tec 200cc heads and they work great! They were affordable and it made 440 hp on the dyno and pulled up to 5800 rpm

If I remember correctly, the limit of the stock valvetrain on the vortecs was a .480 lift. So you would have to disassemble and replace parts anyhow for that cam. What are you running for exhaust? That is the biggest choke point for the SBC world.

That's what I'm looking for! Thanks!

Can you use self-aligning rockers with these heads or do you have to run guide plates?

You're half way there, a little port work would be cheaper for about the same head. If on a budget that would be fine.

What are the specs on the cam ? you're adding a 1/4 of stroke, it will drop your top end down.
