It seems she has a couple of bad lifters and one of the stainless Intake valves has jammed slightly open due to a tight valve guide. I got my eye on a set of Pro Topline rectangle port aluminum heads that flow over 400 CFM @ .700 lift. They have 2.30 Intake and 1.9 Exhaust with 360 CC intake runners so they'll support up to four digit power. I reckon I'll have to throw a big solid roller in it at the same time along with a manifold (tunnel ram?) and different carburation (dual quads maybe?) to feed her. Hopefully, I can get this done before the season starts. I figure the heads will support FI if I do that next Winter.
I haven't started looking at intakes yet. I wanna get the heads and cam lined out first. Then I'll sit down with the builder and go over intakes. It has the standard ZZ502 aluminum dual plane on it now.
I vote for the 300cc variation. they still flow around 375 and have killer mid lift on a smaller runner. Perfect for a hot street car.
Or the dart big chiefs in a 390 cc runner. they demolish anything in their price range.

Remember when you get into big chief stuff you are taking sheet metal intake new valvtrain, rocker arms, pushrods, lifters, big stupid solid roller cam plus big cheifs start at about 4k, plus add on another 2-4k for intake. Big chief stuff is pretty serius hardware. Any headyou can put a fist in the intake port is hardcore.
topline heads are probelly better suited to your application.
