If your going to spend the money on a 331 drop the extra money and get yourself a good set of heads like some TW or some AFR's and a better intake. With a well built 331, better heads and intake, and an aggressive cam I would think you should be able to see 320-330 at the wheels somewhere. Maybe even a bit more depending on the cam. GT40 heads are decent for a stock 302 but once you start upping the cubes its time to put some better heads on it.
