385 fastburn crate motor ??

http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?act...1578&pid=2598#

i'm toyin with the idea of gettin the 385 fastburn with the LT4 hotcam... except i plan on using an HSR and an hsr won't bolt up to the fastburn heads... is it relatively easy to just swap some afr 195cc heads on there and swap the rockers and springs over? or would i just be better off getting a 350 crate and doin cam and heads myself?

thanks

i would say get the block and do the heads, cam, and intake yourself.....i mean if your gonna swap all that $#!+ out anyway then what are you paying 5k for? a 385 bottom end and some spare parts on top of the fact of however much its going to cost you for the afr's and stealth ram. for the 5+ thousand you would spend on the fastburn you could easily build a stronger faster engine for less. just my 2 pennies
