Bang for the Buck Thread

If you knew eventually the end goal was to have a stroked 408 with better heads roller rockers ext, do you still think the heads would make the most difference in the short time? My budget will probably allow me to spend about 3000$ a year on car upgrades. So whatever I do to it, it will have to go a full driving season with just that.

Love hearing everyones different takes on things.

Was your plan to just reuse the junkyard heads untouched? The cost to rebuilt would go into a new aluminum ones. If getting new head make sure the cc fits available piston for your future stroker plans. Also need to choose whether you are staying Mangnum valvetrain, intake, heads or going to LA setup.

What's the end goal for HP here? How much street vs dragstrip sessions. Then work backwards.
