Just wondering if I could get some tips on what to do to my 781 heads. They are in stock form right now. I want to get the most bang out of what I have to work with. Here are some of the engine specs.

440 inch BBC
over 12:1 compression
Lunati 402B1LUN. It is 296/304 at .020, 263/271 at .050, .630/.630 valve lift, and 108 LSA
2 inch primary headers
Victor Jr Intake

There are some guys here running these heads with fairly mild mods into the 10's so nothing exotic is really needed. Quality 2.19 int., 1.88 exh. valves would be a nice place to start, blend the enlarged bowls. Bronze guide liners.
