Which head?
By Will - 12/17/2000 10:56:00 AM; IP 24.162.190.33
The question I'm pondering is which head I should run on my 428. It currently has stock Ebock heads, but I've also got a nice pair of CJ heads.

I've got something messed up in the #7 cylinder (crap on the #7 plug), so I need to pull it apart to check it out. I've been wondering if the Ebock heads are worth it. All the flow numbers show that they're not any better than CJ heads. I've been considering porting and rebuilding the CJ heads, so I can do the swap in a day.

I've heard all the bench racing (alum vs. iron, valve shrouding ,etc.) on the comparison, but I'm not sure how much HP that really means. If it's only a few HP either way, I'd rather run the CJ heads.

And yes, I'm a little surprised on the flow of FE heads. Most aftermarket 5.0 heads flow the same or more. If I were building a pure "for money" race car, I'd probably run a late model 5.0. My second choice would be a 68 CJ Mustang. The 5.0 would probably produce more wins per $, but the CJ is way higher on the coolness meter. Another thing that would be fun would be a Big Boss. I think I'll wait for my stocks to split a few times first though.
This thread, so far...
