Cylinder Heads

The engine won't be ran over 5500 rpm's.

So 5500 rpm is max so basically shift points, so peak hp around 5000 rpm making 1+ hp per cid?

They don't have to be aluminum, I was thinking about using a closed chamber heads so I can run the pistons at zero deck height or a little under. Is quench important for a daily driver?

Quench with zero deck pistons is gonna build fairly high compression ratio for probably small cam you'll run 216-226 ish. If go with a custom piston you could get quench and lesser cr.

Also what would be a good intake runner size? I was thinking a 170cc intake runner size.

If going aftermarket you only got a few choices basically speedmaster or edlebrocks.
