[Verdoro 68]

I'm starting to plan out my winter engine refresh project around a set of Ram Air II heads and wondering how to optimize around them.

Current setup:
Original '68 400 .040, #16 heads non-ported
1.65 stamped rockers
Lunati Voodoo 702
-14cc dished Icon pistons
Stock iron intake w/ '68 Q-Jet
Ram Air Manifolds
2.5" Pypes exhaust
TH400 w/ 13" Continental Stall
3.55 Posi
A/C, PDB

With the RAII heads, I'll be using round port RARE manifolds, a Ram Air IV intake w/cross over (heads are ported on the intake side), and keeping the Q-Jet, but that's about all I have planned so far.

The easiest thing would be to swap heads and call it a day, but since I'll have the engine out to do a reseal I'm wondering if I should consider a cam swap as well. Plans could change depending on the condition of the bottom end. The engine was built about 10 years ago and has low milage, so it should be ok.

Would love to hear thoughts on how to build a stout streetable setup around these heads.

Also, given the rarity of these heads, is there anything I should avoid in terms of machining that might diminish the value? I assume hardened seats, new guides and seals are safe starting points.
