Well it has been decided today that since my old heads need a fair amount of work to get where I need to go that replacing them is the route to go. They have been cleaned and need put back together geuss I'll sell them when I get them back.
We are going with another sbc head that needs converted. The benifit to this approach is the intake bolt pattern is right for a single plane. The choice was also made to a head that would let me run my T&D shaft mount rockers. With the "econo" clean up they will get me were I want to go. Should flow around 315 @.600, .320 @ .700, and 324 @ .800. If I can swing the extra cash they will flow the big numbers. While performing equally as well.

They are the RHS 235cc runner.

Thanks guys.

The "econo" port job has been flowing these numbers

200 141.1/119
.300 193.6/154.3
.400 246.6/175.9
.500 285.9/191.5
.600 314.4/199.2
.700 321.0/201.5
.800 324.0/211

For what it is worth, but if I can swing it the next step up is real impressive.

Well they are a SBC head that was converted to run on a LT1 block. They are a -10 brodix head. There fairly old by todays standard, they were cast in the 80's. 2.08 int 1.60 exh. The springs on them are set up for a big SR. I have a .730 lift cam in here.

I don't know if I would put them on a motor that is going to get a lot of driving. The flow as they are is not that impressive. 283 cfm @ .700
