Default will AFR205 heads be good for a 383CI?

I'm considering a head upgrade picked out the AFR205s for my 346CI


Thinking about the future 383CI.

205's all the way!!! They'll have no problem feeding a 383 If i had the money to buy a 402 or 408 short block, i'd have Tony Mamo do some wotk on my 205's and put them on a 402 or 408!

Default ?s on new motor and parts involved

how about the other preformance stuff I allready have a mild cam & 78mm FAST intake,ported TB will this stuff work well w/ a 383CI?

I'm not really interested in buying a new 408CI then adding alot of other stuff like timing,valley cover, bigger cam & intake, injectors ect. would prefer to reuse the stuff I allready have.

or should I just consider boring to a 370CI

are new 346CI motors still available?

Just preparing myself for what I'm needing for a new motor.

Thanks guys for advice.

Michael02hawk I dig you're geocities site I'll be studying it.
