IMO, put your $$ into a nice 346 rebuilt, you can use the $1000 crank money for a good set of heads and pop a mid 230 cam in there.
Stroking and running stock heads is futile.
I'll give you an exercise:
run an 1/8th mile normaly, record your time
run an 1/8th mile with your mouth shut and 1 nostril plugged, record your time.
Tell me which is better and how you feel
This is how your motor will react
