I am running a stock 400 block with a Hughes main girdle, I would like to keep the shift point around 6800 and cross the finish line at 7000 or less. Probably 95% of my racing is 1/8th mile. Yes the car is under 3000lb, it is in the 2800lb range with me.
I will get some pics posted this evening.
Thanks guys for all your help, Joe

Here is a picture of the damaged head. Sorry it took so long I have been out of town with no net. access.

This one is a little clearer.

Wow!! That is hurt!! I saw an Edelbrock Victor that was in worse shape than that one that was repaired. Radar at R&J Performance farmed it out to someone but I can't remember who it was...

If you want to have it repaired,I know someone who is very good at it but a little slow!Due to a lot of race engine work.

Use Kevin Self in OK!

It didn't sound that bad. It all busted loose coming out of the burnout, the starter didn't hear it I shut the car off and told them to send the other car down the track. I thought it had broke a rocker.Believe it or not the short block can be saved, a sleeve in the block and 1 piston.
I think the B1-BS head would probably be fine with the 499 but I don't know if it would give me a lot of room to grow. If I had a unlimited budget I would buy 2 sets of heads, the B1-BS heads for my 470 short block and a set of 440-1s or possibly a set of ported Victors for the 499. Unfortunaetly I don't have that option, I am going to be stuck with the heads I buy for awhile. Decisions decisions.

The aluminum head or block repair is not cheap,and on a head unless you have a lot of $$$ in port work it may be cheaper just to replace it than fix it.It always ends up costing more than the estimate they give you.And to be fair to the repair shops some times you find more damage than you 1st thought when you start the work.
If I were you I would step up to the 440-1 heads,that way you would have room to go later.
PS It would not be a bad idea to if you go the 440-1 route to save your heads and look for a good deal on a used head to replace the damaged head.That way you end up with 2 sets of heads.

I'm putting a set of MP stage 6 MW heads ported by Brian @ IMM in CA that flow around 350 CFM on a 474 (400 low deck) and then I have a set of Stage 6 Chapmen CNC 385 MW thats going on a 512 low deck. The best thing about stage 6 on a low deck you can use any RB intake.
