Ok I'm building a 350 right now and will punch it out later down the road to 355 or 383. Well I found some Dart 215cc iron heads fully assembled for $600. I also found some Dart 230cc alum heads with 2.10/1.60 valves for $700. What do ya'll think would be better for my setup. Oh and I will be spraying a 150 shot too.

That is way too much head for a 350 ither way. Unless you will move the operating range to 4500 to 8500 RPM.

215s would be good for a 383, still a bit on the big side though. Not too bad.

Yeah I have changed my mind again, and I'm sure it will change again down the road. I've decided to just save my money and buy the AFR 210cc head. Thanks guys for your help.

The 210s would be really good for a 383, go ahead and stroke it to 383 and not worry about it later.

I think that's what I'm going to do.
