Default my c10 427 build

so i ended up with a free 454 block (2 bolt), super low milage truck motor. figured screw it so we are building a 427 out of it, got the milidon splayed caps, block is off for machine work and line hone.

got my crank already now on to heads, seems like AFR's are the way to go, just sanity checking myself before i plop down 3k on some heads. Any opinions?
