I had the same DOOE heads on the original 331 build, but I wiped a couple of bearings at the road course due to oil starvation. Rebuilt it and switched to a single plane and new carb, beehive springs, 1.7 Probe shaft rockers, 9 qt RR pan and did a bit more head work primarily in the area of the pushrod hump and valve unshrouding. The car does things it never did before with the old build. Most obvious is the tires break loose more and longer in 2nd gear, pulls harder through the top end of 3rd as it is approaching 100 mph. I gotta get this thing re-dyno'd some day.

Making HP is soooooo much more satisfying than buying HP.
