Also is that a forged crank? If not I'd pass. Get a forged crank to start with and you won't have to buy another one later. That is only .030 over 340

I would recommend that same crankshaft, hbeam rods and a dish piston that's forged. Any of the heads mentioned will work just fine. Yes, you will have to put a small notch in the bottom of each cylinder to clear the rod bolts. Its easier with the cap screw type hbeam(needs less clearance). It is very easy to make power once the 4" arm is added and it will have better street manners. I exceeded my goals when I built a 408/360. 11.20s with mild ported eddies 10.7 compression, and a xe286 solid roller. 3200 pd street car. 3k stall and 4.10's. w-2 heads have more horsepower potential than the other heads mentioned imo.

If the price is comparable why wouldn't you go with aluminum?

But my intake doesnt match the ports because of poor fitment. Didnt have the time to get it machined. It is a decent head with some issues and why the ..ll didnt they make them out of alu???
