Boat anchor? Have you seen what the sandrail guys have been doing with Northstars the last few years?
I'd rather do an LSX motor myself, but guys are getting a lot of power out of the Northstars today. They're unusual and they look neat too.
I have seen 1 set of Arao heads up close... and they were indeed going on a street rod. Looked nice but they took a long, long time for the guy to get.
If I wanted something "different" that performed and I could get in a reasonable time frame I'd love to do an aluminum BBC with Arias heads. My dad used to run that setup on the blown alcohol hydro... worked very well and looked really trick too. You can probably get more flow and certainly less valvetrain mass out of modern head designs, but the Arias hemi heads just look wicked.
