Let's Build a 416 with Cast Iron Heads and Manifolds

BrianT said
As stated before, the cam will be custom ground knowing the limits of the heads and manifolds. At this point we are just bench racing and spit balling ideas. The first step will be to get my heads blasted and magged for cracks. I have an engine builder not far away that I will use. I'm not sure if he wants to work on iron heads though. I'll give him a call this week.

If you want quench could get pistons with a quench pad. Any 360/340/5.9 manifolds should be fine there ain't a huge power difference between them, but the best combo is suppose to be one 340 and one magnum forget which ones. A little head work and the cam should get you there no problem.
