12.20's out a 413? Eh, nothing special. A buddy of mine is running much faster on a Vortec-headed 355. Those heads when worked properly go a long way. Good luck on your buildup
Good luck drifting too.

I cant find used vortecs, Ive posted on tgo etc. But I get offers for vortecs heads and they are not L-31 heads.
so far I can get an holley 750cfm that needs a rebuild, with a rebuild kit, xe284 cam with springs and retainers. for $200 from the same person.
I figure $200 used or like $500 new for heads
then stall and gears= alot
and then a intake..
and misc crap

If he doesn't have $20 for a factory service maunal, chances are he can't afford any Demon, let alone a new one.

the time he takes it to someone to have it done and so on hes 80% way to a new one. WHY BOTHER WITH IT?

re-using a flat tappet cam is something I would never do. you have to match all the lifters to the lobes they were on and if you dont do that the cam and lifters eat eachother. Roller cams can be re-used no problem, but a flat tappet....I wouldn't.

not so it does happen cm can get burned off ( the real reason is the lifter is not turning ) but i have i customer with a rece chevy and the solids in it have been in 3 motors i know but its true -- cant tell am old timer the way they are -- in my shop we will re use a flat tappet cam over - we just use a new set of lifters -- but we always re hone the bores -- ( reason lifters dont turn in the first place ) just the way we do it my shop -- jz

summit vortec heads.
the main reason i got them was because the springs where for a .520 lift and the cam I chose has a .510, that and because i heard they are RHS castings wich are soposed to be stronger then regular vortecs, I would still rather have 200 buck used l31's but I really want to get the car runing, and reinsured asap.
edit, Im taking the heads off today and maybe installing the cam, but Im not gonna install the heads till i get a carb because i can return them if something else comes up wich prolly will
