What size pistons did you get? What is your desired compression ratio? Most people pick the heads first and desired compression ratio and then select the pistons to meet the desire compression ratio.

Cheapest thick deck heads would be the Darts and Trickflow as cast heads. The Trickflow heads require the use of roller rockers, so that adds $400-$500 to the cost. Not sure if the Darts require roller rockers.

sell the intake and buy a vic jr intake, then go buy a pair of l92's for 800 big ones or go really cheap and do the 317 6.0 heads. Good low budget head and can find them anywhere.

Not much dish there at all. You'll need 72cc combustion chamber to get under 10:1.
