I can afford em now. However I am scared to make the full change, b/c My cam is supposedly a Comp Cams 268H or labled as an RV on my build sheet. My rocker arms I don;t want to part with they are Nascar Miller Engineering. THe thread size on em is 7/16-20 most of these heads are 3/8-24. Can I change the stud size (not listed on the E-Tecs) to be the 7/16 - 20? Or perhaps is there anoither model or brand that some one else doens;t mind showing me? I found several different options for myself.... I don't want to spend past $800
Here is what I found:

Thanks guys,

Louis,
You realize that all of the prices on the heads you've linked from Summit are per head? Unless your budget is per head, you're out of range. I have a great set of edelbrock performer heads on my 327 and they SCREAM!! $1000 fro Summit.
Some of the other retail warehouses taht advertise in Car Carft and Super Chevy have good deals on decent complete cast iron performance heads. Still not a bad option and right in your price range. They make great HP and unless you really are going for the weight difference of aluminum, I don't think it's a noticeable difference...Then again, they do look good...
Good luck,
Paul
