Not in stock form. The 2004r's are not strong in a OEM version. Costs a lot of money to build one right but they are good when you do it. 4L80E is strong but a power robber.

Speaking of heads, you want to run 190cc ports with only 383cubes and a 6000rpm max? You want 180cc at best, or run the engine higher up.

GM also kept the stroke at 3.48 in production sbc engines. When you add a 3.75 stroke it takes a large dish to get compression under 10:1 with a 64cc head. Nothing wrong with using the 76cc head here. Generally I would agree the 180 head would be better for low end power but the EQ heads are pretty decent and it will still make more torque than the tires will handle.
