Jim. Is the block standard bore still, and are you willing to deal for all of it? Im thinking this might be a good option to build and swap out the 396 I have, which has some oil consumption problems. I do have those exact same casting heads though, had my heads gone through shortly before I parked it so I don't "technically" need the heads persay but the set of heads you have here might be nice to just build another complete motor and just switch them out.
