Wouldn't these heads breathe a little better if the machine shop puts a little bit larger valves in? Are there decent quality affordable aluminum heads that might be a better fit? I've checked Summit and I have about 700 different head options..I have no clue how to choose.
Maybe I missed it but what is the casting number of the heads you have? The '72 Z28 and the 400 mentioned very likely have a different casting than you so it is an apples and oranges kind of thing.
