i have a question on heads i should go with.

hi, i have been a member of tgo for over a year now but this is my first time posting.

for starters i have a 91 Z28 camaro with the 305 tpi t-5 combo. it is fairly stock for now.

right now i am in the process of building a 350 to replace the 305. it is my first motor build so i am not trying to go over the top with power or top of the line parts i just want to get a motor build under my belt before i go all out.

the deal is i already have a set of "462" heads. i believe those have 2.02 and 1.6. so for a christmas gift my dad got me this cam package

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...2&autoview=sku

he was told this would work well with those heads.

recently i acquired a set of alluminum corvette heads. i think # "141" or something. so i was wondering which heads would work better with this motor. i know that my stock intake manifold will not match up with the perimeter style heads but i wasnt planning on keeping the stock tpi. i want hsr, but im not sure if holley makes a hsr that will work with older heads.

so which do you guys think i should go with???

If your motor is a roller block, that cam will not work. It is a Hydraulic flat tappet cam and you need a Hydraulic ROLLER cam.

If it was my project, I'd use the aluminum heads.
