Default Engine Rebuild Poll - top end choices.

I have three different ideas for my engine rebuild. Originally, I was just going to have my original heads and intake ported and rebuilt, as I wanted the car to look pretty stock under the hood. Then, I saw that the World Products Torquer heads are pretty affordable, and painted orange, wouldn't look out of place on a "stock" motor. Finally, I saw Fauxrs post the other day with his new engine, and I like the all aluminum Edelbrock top end. What do you guys think?

Depending on the heads you have, the world torquers may be the same thing...

As a general rule, you can go one full point of compression ratio higher with aluminum heads on the same octane. Best of both worlds if you aren't on a really tight budget.
