I forgot to say for a sbc 383. I saw Patriot heads fully assembled that were very reasonably priced.

I would like to get aluminum heads for mine. I've been playing with numbers on Desktop Dyno, just for comparison. The Dart Pro1 230 cc intake runner, and Edelbrock Victor JR both gave me the best results for my stroker. If D.D. is anywhere close to real life (which I'm sure it's probably a bit generous), I'd be happy since it shows it would put me at 515 h.p., 520 tq.

Does not give any build data, but there is a lot of info.
