If you decide to run those heads talk to World and see what they recommend. I would personally go with another head but I don't know your intended use of the car is...??

you wont make 600 whp with a 383 n/a. a set of tfs or afr's and a custom cam along with the fast 90/90 will put you solidly in the 500's tho
