Check the head and block casting numbers BEFORE you buy them. 75%+ out there are junk castings. I just had to turn down a "hi po" 327 because after running the casting numbers I learned it was the "lowest po" 327 built. Casting numbers don't lie.

As for your build, you'd be far better off locating a later model roller motor and building that.
