Default Stuck between two different heads/cam

Looking for some help on making a decision on a head/cam combo. Looking at FED 243 stage 2 with custom cam or PRC 227 with MS3 cam. The PRC's are at the top of my budget. Thanks.

Yes LS1. I'm building a L76 I'd be switching the heads over.

I have a 01 SS with a M6. I'm slowly building L76 shortblock. Meanwhile I'm going to do h/c/I on the ls1 that is currently in my car. I'm looking for a head that will work well with both 3.9 and 4 inch bore. Everything but the cam will go on my L76 when it's ready.

Unfortunately, there isn't much info (that I have found) about the Frankenstein heads. They also have some aftermarket tfs castings that I bet would be nasty as hell
