i would highly suggest getting some different heads, other than the e7's for a motor that big, i have a set of e7's in my car.... still a stock 302 eddy performer, and a b-cam with 1.7's....... they are highly ported, 1.94, 1.60 valves, and they still don't meet close to my expectations....and i think they would starve a 331 etc. for air....

i am saving for a set of AFR's to go on the new motor....... If nothing else i would go with a set of gt-40 heads and have them worked....

just my .02 cents....

Oh and i use the 9011-1's as recommended by Edgar, for the iron heads, haven't had even close to an issue with a few over rev's (damn 4.10's) lol , and a little overheating....

Just get you a roll of gasket paper and cut your own.

i have wondered about the coppers..... are those the kind that you have to put the copper sealant spray on them to seal or the dead soft kind.........??

Don't use sealer spray on the SCE's. It causes the silicone seals to fail.

No mine were not copper they are sce titinum. I've heard of the coppers not sealing and leaking coolant.
