I was looking at the patriot performnce but no one has anything GOOD to say about them Im looking to spend no more than $1500 on heads. Plus I will need a cam with a intake and carb. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. It will be a street truck for the weekends. I want to get 400 - 500 hp if possible .
On a .060 over 350 block make sure its sonic tested for cylinder wall thickness as we sonic test every OEM block that comes through the door and we don't see many the make a good performance build at .060.
On cylinder heads take a look at these and we are a dealer for Dart if you choose them.

Good luck with your build
