I think I found out which way i wanted to go with my Salon. Can someone tell me if this is a good idea. First off, I didn't wanna do a 403 cause I was told the heads are crap. So I had to find out why they were crap. Well I did, there crap cause the exhaust valves are to small. I went to a local machine shop that I have used in the past to find out the info. So I asked him what can I do about that. His suggestion was (and he can do the work) I can put some Olds 350 heads on the 403. Put the 403 intake valves in and keep the 350 exhaust valves in. Does that sound right to anyone. I also want to run a roller cam setup. If this sounds like a good idea or any comments that can be givien will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time an knowledge...
