My heads came in today. TFS 23* Aluminums. Now I'm just waiting on my tax return, and I can build the rest of the engine Now I really don't want to wait.

Don't have all the details worked out yet. Gonna sit down and talk with my builder for a while and nail down specifics, but what I have so far is:
4 bolt main 355
10.0:1 compression
Still fluctuating between hyper or forged pistons (money is an issue)
Comp Cams 268H high energy cam
I'm reusing these:
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
SLP 1 3/4" headers
I'm temporarily going to use my 600 cfm Holley, but I'll switch to a 750 double pumper when more cash come in.

Hoping to get between 400-450 hp and a good chunk of torque. Chevy High Performance built this engine and made 415 hp and 430 lb/ft of torque.
