427 Aluminum Heads
By Paul Thompson - 02/04/2004 1:41:38 AM; IP 67.5.134.227
I plan to start building a 427 based on a 68 block that I purchased new in 1969. I have several questions.
First, I have a set of LeMans rods that were polished and I feel that too much material was removed from the small end. Who could I check with to verify this.
Second, I have a set of aluminum head that I acquired in the 1970/71 time frame. They have been prepped by Valley Head Service (since they did a lot of the developement work for Shelby in that era). Should I use these head on the engine, or are they too valuable to put on street car?
Thanks in advance.
