Thanks, guys. I think I will be better off just getting my head built right. I had jst heard they would fit, and wondered what would be the up/down sides of it. I definitely plan to spend a large part of my money on te headwork, because that seems to be where the power is mad and lost in these engines.
MBHD, I am planning on changing my pistons and boring the block and balaancing the crank. I might even uupgrade my rods, if I need to. I would hate to bump up compression on a bottom end that hasn't been touched since 68-9. I am definitely going to upgrade the valves and lump the ports, so it would probably be better to do it to one of the good 250 heads I have, instead of wekening the 194 even further. Guy selling it says his block cracked, but he didn't know till he was far enough into his build that the head had been done. So maybe the head is weak, too??
