Questions:

*The specs I see are mostly the same for the 360 or 370 engine, so I expect the 360 factored to whatever is the best choice.

*A number of the classic SBC heads are legal. Does any casting hold any advantage? The heads with the bolt holes on end are convenient. I intend to use OE castings, not aftermarket.

*I am open to any experience or thoughts.

Thanks, Larry Woodfin
