I personaly would run a 112 lobe sep. With the tighter lobe sep, it should equal the mid range tq of the old cam, but, it will make more hp up top.

Have you considered just re-working the heads you already have? You said they are un-ported correct? If thats the case, for A LOT less than new heads, you could pick up a bunch of power that way. A cam change, maybe an intake change, to a super Victor, or the smaller profiler, I wouldn;t use the big profiler for 7000rpm, but, a Super Victor, with some minor plenumn work, a port job, maybe bigger intake valves, and a cam, and you would go high 5's. And, the cool part, you could say, they are just some old 074 aluminumn heads, when your beating guys with Dart, Brodix, etc. You couldn;t imagine, how mad guys got, from my above example, with the 049 oval ports, how mad guys would get, when they got trailered by old junk truck heads, when they were running their cnc'd this or thats.

I missed this post before...but I don't think the heads are worth it really...They are 1970 castings I think..yes they are stock port wise..but they have been flat milled. They are due for new valves because they have been ground several times. etc.. I had problems with the intake not fitting,had to hog out the holes..the valve cover rail on one has been broken and then welded(doesn't hurt anything,but still...looks bad and makes it harder to get rid of em if I wanted to). The one good thing is the stud bosses have never been repaired...most I have seen usually have been welded on.I just can't see spending much money on a 37 year old set of heads. I have had these things for years and am tired of fooling with them.
