Head jobs

<< < (2/3) > >>

Brutus:
Webber can blame his pits for stuffing up a better finish placing for him this time with that illegal manoeuvre they pulled at the start.

jdunne:
David,if you are looking seriously at Vortec heads don't forget you need a vortec style intake...the others wont fit...and usually different rocker covers....most vortec heads have a different bolt pattern.....also make sure that the exhaust port matches your exhaust system,the height of the port can be different.....i think.......john:o:an

david_moore:
Very good point John, the nice man at the shop assures me the exhaust ports are the same as the standard heads, but, we all know what "the nice man at the shop" is like! I sure have been stung before!! I am a lot more carefull these days before parting with cash. I have a set of extractors I use to hang extension leads off in my garage that the only way you would fit them is with a hammer! And nothing smaller than a lump!!! I often think one day I'll return them through their nice glazed front windows! The "nice man" also assures me the Vortec inlet manifold is as good as an Edelbrock Performer. I just don't know about that either, I'm back to getting aluminium heads, altho more expensive, I think it is the way to go. Any dyno action in the near future?  ;29

Brutus:
Dave...I figured on Alloy heads too when I finally made the decision to get some. I may have gone overboard, but once they're on the donk that'll all be forgotten.

david_moore:
Overboard? nuthin' , they'll be the bees knees!! :20 I'm now thinking either Trickflow or Edelbrock. The site you put me onto at chevyhiperformance is real good too. When are you going to build up your engine? Will it be a stroker? ;28
