Low budget = Stock 243 heads
No budget = TEA, AFR, etc. (depending on specific use)

probably a dart worked over by a reputable builder such as bret bauer. Maybe not the MOST EXPENSIVE but pricey depending on your budget, but worth the money.

speaking of bret, anyone got his number? site is down and I need to chat with that guy.

All Pro should be considered as well, IIRC they have a small bore coming out. talk to Richard at WCCH for info about it but you have a few options these days. AFR, TFS, PRC (new castings), ET, Dart (T4P), Edelbrock. That I can think of off the top of my head
