Couple that with the relatively cheap cost of a stroker kit and you see why a stroker sbc is the choice of many, BB power with a sb price.

Depends on what you want to ship...

Some other stuff I got:

1969 Z28 intake (iron)

Iron 4 barrell intake, no EGR

2 bbl intake (iron), with EGR, with 2 bbl Rochester

1965? Corvette 4bbl intake (iron) with Rochester 4-Jet (ever heard of those?)

350 crank

stock rockers, springs, valves, retainers, and locks

Gotta decide what to do with it all. I'll know more when I get everything cleaned up and checked out. All in all, not bad for the price...

which is the best set??
From this comparison the 882 is better:
http://chevyhiperformance.com/techar...98/index4.html

882 - This head had the smallest port size of all the heads we tested. A set of 2.02/1.60-inch valves can be swapped in but be aware that without blending in the short side radius, the results usually find lost airflow.

462 - This head was a small chamber head used on 327ci motors until the end of 1968. The flow can be improved a little with larger valves and port work but the additional cost of this is impractical in comparison to what you can by some other aftermarket casting for.
