What are the details on that? Are you going to be using box stock Vic Jr heads? Is it going to be carbed? What compression? What intake?
When will this be ready to go?

if you're going to be buying the heads new, might as well get the AFR-185s, it's like the same price. Otherwise used edel. vic jr's are a steal.

I think 375 is a push. It can be done, but a dozen little tricks have to be done... windage tray, race crank pulley, and 10 more similar 1-3 HP things.

What's the limiting factor in your opinion, as is? Would you substitute any parts for any other parts? What about if we use a 300cfm head, with no other changes? Is that 375rw expected now without the dozen little tricks?

I would consider using AFR CNC 205 instead of the Victor Jr's they flow so much better

An 850dp might give you few hp higher peak numbers, but a 750 would be better across the powerband. Single plane manifolds are extremely sensitive to carb sizes and using too big of a one will seriously hurt low & mid range performance.
