Let's see, $2150 for the heads and $650 for the roller rockers..$2800..that's coming pretty close to what I paid for the Roush/Yates heads on my 408 stroker which flows 371 on the intake side and 294 on the exhaust.
Making over 500HP in any natrually aspirated motor takes cubic $$$$$ and a lot of thought, but in a Y block that is outstanding!
That looks like the makings of a nice build. I am interested in where you got your timing set, is that rollmaster?

thanks, Dan
