Heads
I came across a pair of blue print aluminum 195-64 heads for 500 from a friend but I was wanting to buy afr 195s-64 for a 383 i know they run about 1.4k but should I take these and move on or go with afrs?

From: Who says "Nothing is impossible" ? I've been doing nothing for years.
AFR 195 Eliminators are way up there in the 285cfm range if those flow less than 250-260 cfm then get the AFR's. If the name of the head is Blue Print then you don't need to do anything, just buy the AFR's you will not be disappointed.
One thing should be remembered is the high flow of the AFR 195's has to be matched with the correct components. I had a set of Vic Jr heads on a solid roller 406ci that had about the same flow numbers as the AFR 195's and made 550HP and 510TQ so I believe because of the 195cc intake runner we might start seeing mismatched component motors.
These are not really 350ci heads anymore and I would like to to see someone cc the intake runner, my bet is it is more than 195cc, my 215cc Vic Jrs cc'ed at 220cc's

Take the heads to a good engine shop and if they don't tell you they are boat anchors right off the bat then ask them if they will flow one cylinder.
