small block heads, 4027596 casting # any good??

When I raced my pontiac we had nothing aftermarket that was cheap (or worth the extra money) and man there were some fast guys on stock stuff.

That's my point. Look at what Dan smith is doing with just a oem 587 head. Or Vic Bloomer with a 1.88 valve oem head. Smart people can find ways to make stuff work while others just cant or say it can't be done. If the head can give you the cfm you need to make the power you want figure out how to use it.
