Good luck with the project
The alum head deal looks good from the HP rating standpoint but what sucks is what is needed to make them SS legal. They come from the factory with too large of valves which means you have to remove all 16 seats and weld them up to match the smaller seat diameters, lots of money involved with the changes to make them legal. I am building a '64 Comet for SS (almost finished) and stayed with the iron heads for budget reasons.
