Well just looking for any suggestions on a set of heads. I have been looking at the AFR 205's but dont know the streetability of them on a N/A motor. I plan on a power adder in the future so I am split between the 185's and the 205's. I just don't want to end up with one wishing I had picked the other. Lots of money to spend so just want to make sure I make the right decision.

ya the thing is after this little $2K purchase, it will be awhile before I get a turbo, and I have to drive this thing everyday. Is there anyone out there running 205's on the street with a non boosted or stroked 351?

Then get the 205s. They'll be fine on the street, and you'll never look back.

They won't pass emissions, though.

thats great haha . . . those heads are just a tad too big, but look at this way, you will have room to go if you ever decide to stroke it more and if you are spinning enough rpm those heads will be fine even with the amount of displacement you have now. I wish i had the money and i would convert my 331 to a solid roller and slap a set of 205s on there and spin it 8k rpm
