i want a set of heads that i can throw on now ( stock engine ) and if get a stroker (i just got approved for a loan hahaha!) like a 331, i can just put them right on; that flow well with the extra cubes. i was leaning towards afrs 185s but dont know much about them.

AFR 185s would be nice in my opinion.

AFR 185's would be might choice as well. You'll have to be really careful with P/V clearance on the stock pistons.

I run 185cc and they are REALLY good heads out of the box..one of the best IMO. They would work well with a 331 and if you ever SC or turbo it they will LOVE IT
