Get a copy of Jim Hands book for porting the heads, and building the engine as well, there is a lot of good info in that book. I did a set of #62 heads for a race gas 463 years ago following his book for guidance. With a Comp Cams XE284H hydraulic flat tappet cam that engine ran 11 teens in good air, and I eventually got high 10’s out of the heads after swapping in a Crower custom grind solid lifter cam. Later I swapped to E heads. The E heads gave me another five tenths. My Firebird weighed #3500 back then.
