348 Truck Engine

Well, I finally found time to tear down the engine that I'm hoping to build for my 55 Nomad. It 's a 3857655 Block with 37644702 heads. I'm planning on running a tri-power. I was wondering what kind of engine I can expect to end up with? The block appears to be 62-65 and has one relief cut. Is this block more or less the same as a passenger car 348? I can't find any information on these heads. Will they be OK for this build?
Sorry if the questions are basic, but this is my first "W" build. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Al T.

The heads you are referring to are 1960 348 truck heads...How good they'll be for your build is based on what you are trying to accomplish...Simple answer is there are Better heads out there.
