Re: wow its been a while

There are a large number of heads available for your 350. What exactly do you have in mind? Iron? Aluminum? Pump gas (93)? Race gas? Power level desired?

Re: wow its been a while

in the future i would look at AFR's Eliminator series heads. they have tested extremely well in chevyhiperformance magazine, but cost me 1400 bucks for a pair. sucks for me huh? They did make 523 easy crank horsepower in the magazine ad with a 383 stroker, comp cam, 1.6 rockers and edelbrock intake. so they dont need too much modification. i think they just milled them down a little for some more compression

Re: wow its been a while

Well, If you haven't already purchased an intake manifold, I HIGHLY recommend some GM vortec heads. They are more than capable of making 400-450 crankHP. They DO require a Vortec specific intake though. This site will show you some option. I've seen dynos of the SD Votec heads for .600" lift putting out 470hp
