The Ideal 413?



I've been reading the 413/440 thread with interest.

A few years ago I had mine rebuilt, but I've never been completely happy
with it (mainly because of low-compression truck pistons and that the
machinist bored it .060 over) and would like to start over fresh.

So, what would be the ideal setup for a 413 using available parts and fuel?
I would like to have an engine with all the snap off the line I've been
reading about, as well as good passing performance and torque. I want it to
be smooth and to run cool. I'll run premium gas if necessary but I do not
want to mess with any octane boosters.

I've already got dual exhaust, electronic ignition, high-performance coil
and wires, K&N filter, and a brand new AFB carb.

Which heads do I want? Cam? Manifold? Pistons? Other goodies?

Thanks in advance.
