there is some great deals on 243 casting heads these days but some of them has larger runners that i would want with a small cam.alot of your driveability will be in your tune,that will make or break you.keeping the lower end stock i would try to keep peak power 6300 or below that way you don't have to spin it to the moon to get peak performance,something like a 228r or f13 or similar.

You will need a good tune.
