With those heads, not what you'd like - those are 1970's smog heads, 76cc chambers = low compression.

Re: 355 engine

Without a cam, youll get 0 HP. But seriously, ditch those heads and grab a set of stock vortecs, a decent cam, and a vortec specific intake and you wont regret it. Vortec heads can be had for not a whole lot of $. Much cheaper than aftermarket heads and flow really nice.
