Batten engine build.

Just curious what some of you all think I should do with the iron Battens I just got from 2blu442. I don't want to go full race or anything but I was thinking maybe a stroker diesel build! Any thoughts?

CJ Batten developed them in the late 70's and they were the first aftermarket heads for Olds V-8s! They can and are made for all out race applications and are still the best to use for racers but at a significant cost! They also require special intake manifolds and headers.
