RE: 428 scj By Gerry Proctor - 09/28/2001 8:35:17 AM; IP 208.217.67.249 Pete, Using the Edelbrock heads won't substantially improve your airflow over the CJ heads. They also won't save you a huge amount of weight either. The biggest weight savings is in the intake swap. Just my opinion here, but spending $1,200 bucks for cylinder heads to save 30 pounds without a big horsepower increase is not good bang for the buck. Keep the 735cfm carb, consider using headers, and look at some of today's cams. The stock SCJ cam is a fairly tame stick. You can really punch-up the mid and top-range without giving up the bottom end with a little more lift and duration with wider lobe displacement angle. Also, do whatever you have to do to retain the oil cooler.

This thread, so far...
