Woo! The first reply to my build thread!

I have been thinking about asking my wife for new heads for my birthday, but I've been having a hard time deciding on a set. Does anyone have any opinions on good flowing economical heads for a 383? I am searching for aluminum heads to reduce the chance of knocking. With 64cc heads, I'll have static compression of around 10.5:1. I may go with 76cc so I can run cheaper gas though.

In the immediate future, a PO installed a sunroof and it leaks like a sieve. I am going to a salvage yard tomorrow to look at a possible donor roof. With all the PO damage I've seen in this cab, I may buy an entire donor cab.

The next few months will be spent practicing with my welder, body hammers on the body panels and stripping and painting the frame with Eastwood rust encapsulator and 2k Ceramic chassis black.
