pistons, heads, both?

If you're on a budget I would zero deck the block and run magnum heads with pistons. You'd need AMC lifters and maybe custom pushrods. You'd run higher valve lift instantly with the 1.6 rockers, better head oiling, bigger valves. Of course, you'd need an intake or find a machinist to drill the heads to accept an LA intake.

come to think of it.. i do have a set of magnums laying around. i dont know the specs on them. they are out of a 99 dodge 2500. would it be worth it to put them on? would it bring the compression ratio up? should i just wait and spend the money on aluminum heads?
