Ported 452 or Edelbrock RPM

My concern was that perhaps embossed steel gasket will damage the heads.
Never happen.

Thing is I already have both, I have flow numbers close to my cam max lift in my first post and its 277 iron and 301 alu @.600 lift. These are not the same flow bench numbers.
They are close but I simply have these alu heads and am tempted to try them out. Plenty of winter time ahead with some time to wrench on the car...
Yes yes, I forgot. I was in on the thread at the beginning.
Well then, sounds like the next step is experimentation and fun.
