Bang for the Buck Thread

Do you have usable heads? If not then get heads as good as your budget will allow and a bigger cam and valvetrain to match your heads . A 360 with good heads will kill a 408 with poor heads. 360 mags with stock mag heads respond very well to better valve springs and a big cam , can you say 360-380.
I have the stock magnum ones currently. The end goal the motor will have Good heads and be stroked, so I guess the big question is, dollar for dollar will the stroker kit or new heads give me more usable power off the get go, being that they both cost around the same and i cant afford both at once.
