yes you can, and you'll need hardened pushrods and lifters. I'd do a new lifter tray while i'm at it.
Make sure they are the 243 heads, but I believe it should because of the smaller chambers.
Yes, you can run a T56 behind it. Should bolt right up.
Bottom end will hold up to it. I'd recommend ARP rod bolts for safety.
The set-up should make more than 420 and 380 to the wheel. You'll need another rear-end though if that 10 bolt is out of an F-body.
