Generally the most widely available "good" heads are the 906s (last 3 digits of the heads'
casting number). You'll probably get the most bang for the buck with these.Savoy vs. Fury is basically a trim package, the Fury being the higher end model. Structurally there should be no difference. Kantor Automotive has motor mounts for the 57-59s Get the ones for the 361-383.
I'm not sure about the tranny mount though. If your rear axle has a welded cover it's an 8 3/4. It'll take most anything you can dish out.

Hello list,
I am interested in the head swap from a 383 and 413 and 440. Is there
a "best one" to look for?
2nd, is there less frame support (i.e., less cross-members) on a Savoy
as opposed to a Fury? What sort of motor mounts will work (or will I
need custom)? How strong is the rear end on a 6 banger '59 Savoy? Is
the rear end different from the Fury? Thanks.
Peter
