RE: non 428CJ C6AE-R heads to 428 CJ

When you have those heads "done", I'd recommend installing the 428 CJ/427 Lo-riser valves, 2.13 intake and 1.66 exhaust. Have a competent head rebuilder do this work so that they'll open up the bowl/pocket area so that the larger valves are doing more than just putting a larger lid on the same size can.

Another great feature of the C6AE-R is that there are provisions cast that allow you to have the cast in "tabs" to be drilled and tapped to match either CJ or GT exhaust manifolds. Of course, most would recommend the CJ manifolds over the very restrictive 390 GT manifolds. The CJ manifolds are available as new re cast now for around $450. Of course you can go with the correct headers for these heads.

You have a great engine there. No need for CJ rods either. Just have the stock '66 rods resized/furbished with ARP standard 390/428 non CJ bolts. I'd also recommend Forged pistons although they don't make horsepower.....they just allow more horsepower to be built into the engine. Standard CJ pistons are available forged at reasonable prices.
This thread, so far...
