Looking for a set of heads for a SBC 400

Hey all,

I am in the process of building a SBC 400 for my 92 RS. It's a 4 bolt 511 casting. For the bottom end I have used an Eagle cast crank and a Federal Mogul rebuild kit:

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku.

The kit came with 12.5cc dish pistons that will give a compression of 9:1 with 76cc heads. I also have a Comp Cams 280H Magnum cam with 0.48 of lift and 280 degrees of duration.

I really do not want to use the crappy *** 882 heads I have, so I was hoping to find a good set of used heads for like 300-400 bucks. I would like to keep the compression below 10:1, so that means its prolly got to be 72cc or larger chamber. I really don't wanna use the vortecs b/c it will spike the compression and I don't think it will handle the lift of that cam. Also, I already have a standard performer RPM intake.

Let me know if you guys have anything you want to get rid of that would work for me.

Thanks!
Jason
