Already running edelbrock stuff and their heads are pretty good.Have run them on few street rod builds. WIth 4.00 bore there is no reason to go bigger than 2.02 intake/1.60 exhaust.You can go bigger but will need some grinding to unshroud valves. Not sure what chamber options they have,but make sure it will work compression wise with pistons. 10 to 10.5:1 would be max IMO.

As for work to pickup flow.If they don't have 5 angle valvejob that would be my first move.Maybe port match and good to go. just my 2 cent.

Guess I should have read to end and could have saved the typing,oh well needed more practice anyway.LOL
