go with 243s, though its really not all about flow numbers, its basically how the porting is done, dont get me wrong flow numbers are great, anyone can port a head but if you dont know what the fugg youre doing then there worthless, a CNC can only do so much, a hand port will tell the tale. its all about how they flow not so much how much they can flow 
im building a 408 now with the l92 setup thats on my 6 liter ( stock short block ) if i knew what i know now about porting i would have went 243s you match parts you see great results

worry? its like any other engine you build it right then theres no problems.
what intake you planning on running? exhaust blah blah blah, if it was mentioned sorry i overlooked it.. the rotating assembly is just that it rotates, the more cubes the more potential for big numbers, its the topend thats gonna put down the horsepower like cam heads exhaust, but in the same sense all those parts have to match.

Rings went bad in the motor so I figure why not do some modding while I am in there. I am really just looking for a stout street motor and I want the displacement of a stroker. It will be driven somewhat regularly and I need it to have good street manners.

Yeah planned on upgrading the pump. Didn't think about the chain though thanks. You know of any dealers you believe to be reputable? So far I have checked out TS and a few others all seem to be roughly the same in price. Just want to see all of my options.
