I've heard great things about Land Speed. I know that's who Mike Norris uses on his builds.

You might want to call Mike Stark at CFM he is located in Indianapolis. He does great work and is easy to deal with. He has ported several sets of heads for me.

Getting 1.8's is not really recommended unless your cam is ground for 1.8's. just do the compcam trunion upgrade, it gets rid of the needle bearing and uses roller bearings with better ones.
