Re: heads

Lots and lots of options out there. Honestly, there are two heads I would use. For a non all out motor, use the factory Vortec heads. I'd think you could find a clean set for pretty cheap. If you're doing a serious buildup, no reason not to use AFR.

Re: heads

I used the edelbrock performer rpm heads for 3 years now and no problems.

I like their heads. make sure you get their recommended head gaskets because of the difference of expansion and contraction between the iron block and aluminum heads

X2

vortecs flow better than E-streets or Performers, unless your building something for 5500+rpm use, the vortecs are bout the best. (buy them from Jegs, Summit, or SDPC--don't buy them from a wrecking yard and have them redone, it will cost you more)

Other than Vortecs, use Performer RPM, Trick Flow or AFR.
