Re: BBC alum head recomendations
Have had great results with the Dart 325s and the Edelbrocks.Both combos with hyd rollers make 600/600.
Good luck and pm me if you want. Jeff

Re: BBC alum head recomendations
Just curious when we speak about HP goals on this forum, are we usually talking about WHP as measured on a chassis dyno? Just wanted to clarify cause the delta in this range would be about 120 hp.

If you want to go with aftermarket heads, I'd look at either the AFR 305's or the Brodix Race-Rite's.
