Looking to build a 300 horsepower Chevy 350

I'm looking to get 300 horsepower out of my SB 350, and that's my goal..

What I've got is a 1978 2 bolt main 350 from a Corvette, the standard model, not anything fancy.. I have a 1991 TPI intake ported and polished ready to go..

I've got Flat-top 4 eyebrow pistons, stock bottom end, the cam, I'm not sure of, but it takes having the heads before you can make a decision..

So I'm wondering would L98 heads from a Camaro/Trans Am 350 be okay? I want to keep the serpentine setup so double bumps are out of the question..

I've also only mentioned the basic stuff, like I said, I can't really build an engine until I have the heads.. Are the L98 ones any good?
