Mongrel 410

Well, my 410 is coming together. The block is a D3TE (w/reverse 105 on DS front corner) and the crank/rod combo are from a '67 Marauder. Cylinders cleaned up at .030", the crank had to be turned 30/30.The pistons are stock CR KB Silvo-lites that were found by the machinist- they had been sitting on a shelf for years(they were in the old boxes from the 80's),the price was a bargain and included chrome moly rings. Can't remember the cam specs off the top of my head, but I know the powerband is idle-5500 (RV/mild performance). The heads are C1AE castings w/0609A cast into them as well. I don't know much about them, but visually they have a very low,flat intake floor and the intake port size is more generous than the 390GT heads I had to compare them to (not to mention the C1AE casting looked more neat and clean than the GT head). Any thoughts on this combo and/or these heads?

I'd get hardened seats put in those heads, but otherwise sounds pretty good.
