RE: C7AE heads, etc.

Really the C7AE heads are very common. And I don't personally think they have any more potential than the C8AE head that replaced them. With work they'll be fine. But I don't think they've got what the C6AE-R offers.

Yes on the 428 stuff except the rods are the same for a 390 or 428 except CJ or PI rods with the larger bolts/nuts. I also believe now that '63 & later 390 standard 428 rods are the way to go with ARP bolt kits. But everything else you'll need, wait, that external balancer you mention is only for the Super Cobra Jet 428. If you find that with your 428 crank.....get it. But you won't need one with a standard 410/428 crank. The harmonic balancer is good to have too.

A C6 & small block in '69. I know the C6 was starting to be used with early '70s Cougars with 351s. Yours must be a 351W '69 with that C6? If it's a 351 then you do have the 9" rear. That's a better start than an 8" 302 car.
This thread, so far...
