Default 243 heads on a 4.060

Bought a fresh machined .060 over lq4, h beam rods, and pistons off here. Decided to go with an aluminum 5.3 for my project. Trying to resell the lq4 stuff locally, and its not gone yet. Got a set of 243's on trade for other parts....

So what about 243's on the .060 over block if I put it together for who knows what project???
