[USER=8598]@JDuvall[/USER] - I think what people are getting hung up on is the "daily driver" in your title and first post. If your project is evolving away from that, you can edit them to change the scope of your project.

Regardless of what you're building, you need to ensure the block is capable of handling any power level. Sonic checking the cylinder walls for thickness, Magnafluxing for cracks etc.

Considering you're starting from scratch on the heads, I would go aluminum. The TFS heads are well regarded, readily available and have good features for the price point. There are of course AFD, CHI and SCM, but availability on those is often sketchy and involves a significant shipping charge. ProComp/Speedmaster heads are attractive at the price point, but have a bad rep and often require a significant investment in machine shop work to be usable.

TrackBoss aka Tim Meyer has a nice stroker kit with top quality parts. You can buy just the parts, or have it balanced by him and add in a Romac Balancer and SFI flywheel.
