head and cam question

I am planning on getting some heads and a cam for my gw 350. I was gonna p&p some 416's but i would rather just get some aftermarkets. Within 2 years i'm planning on buying a 383 shortblock so i want to be able to use the same heads if possible.

My cam will be a Crane 222/222 .467/467

I'm looking at the Trick flow K.D. heads with cnc'd chambers and

these Patriot heads. http://www.patriot-performance.com/w...p?x=1&DID=1225

The patriots come with guideplates and screw in studs.

Will a holley street dominator intake work with these heads?
Will a holley 4160 600cfm carb be enough?

I will also be getting rockers, double timing chain and new pushrods.

thanks for any info.

If you buy the Trickflows I would get the standard heads and then have them worked over by someone who knows what they are doing. Your money will be better spent and you will have some awesome heads.

I will be doing this shortly on my 2nd rebuild. Going for well over 400HP with TPI on a 355. I will report the results.
