looking for help with building a 460

Hello Everyone,
I am New to this site and i am doing a 460 engine for my 1978 Ford Bronco,I use my truck for on road and off road driving and want to make it a strong long lasting engine that barks alittle more than most.

I bought a 460 had the block tank and flexed and bored .30 so far,I have been looking at the Rods and been wondering if i can use them or if i should switch the out the number on my rods are : D6VE-AA

I have been told to Use rod numbers: DOVE or C9VE rods for the strength for my offroad driving.

I have been told they are a great rod for a truck was wonderring if i could get more feedback.

Also if anybody could give me some feedback on the heads i have it would be great too, the number on those are : D3VE-A2A

I think these are a 91.4 cc head????

Also if these are good heads can i do anything to make the a stronger or better fuctioning unit?

thanks,
Bear
