That's something I've also been wanting to do for quite some time now. I need a set of 614's for what I want to do. Stick them on a 455 or maybe something slightly larger with a 4.250 crank.

Problem is they aren't falling off trees, and I can't see spending $2000 plus for a set of heads that I have to sink another $1000 plus in rebuilding. There has been talk by a couple different people of making an aluminum version to look the part, maybe with modern chambers that I'd love to jump on board with, but that never seems to go anywhere.
