Ok well I have my head problem solved I managed a set of "206" castings closed port ovals mid 60's casting, they are fresh and have 2.19 1.72, so now my concentration will be on intake,pistons,rods,crank and cam any help with carburation and headers is certainly welcomed these are from what I read nice heads. As far as budget 2 or 3000.00 on the bottom end roughly the less the better. I will have the springs in the heads checked to make sure on max lift etc. IM thinking roller cam and lifters,is that possible with my block casting and this style head without any further machining of the heads? If not then I wont go roller and stick with hyd cam and lifters. Like I metioned Im not trying to go 10 second quarters I just want a nice street rod pickup truck that wont go "belly up" up everytime one of the newer model muscle cars challenges me at a red light..being a small block guy my first thought is to stroke it but Im not dealing with small blocks anymore so here I am.
