AFR 1399 heads on a Ford Racing BOSS block. The one listed in the guide as a replacement for small block Ford. It was less confusing when they just called it the Ford Racing Sportsman block. You can build a SS BOSS with AFR heads, but it sets the purists on fire.
The pistons are Keith Black with a modest dome, 2.6cc I think. The block is 4.000 bore, which makes it a little harder to find pistons. The SRS flat tops I wanted kept slipping month to month in shipping and I ran out of patience.
My rear axle assembly comes tomorrow and I should have it all together and broken in just in time to put it up for the Winter. At least there will be a hotrod in the garage instead of a pile of parts.

Jim: AFR makes 165 and 185cc SBF heads. The 165cc model number 1399 is listed as a bolt on legal SS replacement head. No valve voodoo needed.
