ebay heads?

[pockets]

There was another 383 I was considering that was built up a few years ago that used powerhouse heads that made 425, so figure 385 or so on a 355 engine. Google Shoe String Stroker and you will find it on their website.

I ultimately went with AFR even though my cam isn't all that big because I can upgrade the cam later if desired and I know the heads will support it.

Those patriot heads are good BUT you need at least a 400+ inch engine because the 2.08 valve isnt going to flow as good as a smaller valve in a 350+ will. Its called valve shrouding. Patriot makes an excellent steel head (vortec) that I bought and they were 485 shipped without springs and keepers. In my opinion I think a 2.08 valve on a street 383 is too big and the runner volumn is going to kill low end. Heres my head numbers
