Aluminum Heads

If I were to make the decision to abort my 400 build with 061 Heads and go in the direction of aluminum heads, what should I expect to pay in total? Any recommendations from the experts? Thank you.

Forged rods

Do you think the LG5-66251 RPM Rods would work with the 400? It says they are for a 455. Length is correct at 6.625" and a .980 pressed pin?
