390 head dilemma
By BarryMcLarty - 11/06/2003 1:22:11 PM; IP 24.66.94.141
Have been on the side lines for 10 years,and am now using all the fe parts left in my garage from my drag racing days to build a 64 Galaxie liteweight clone.I am going to use a 71 105 block,tri power ,headers,4:11 gears,and am considering a C6 so I can do some bracket racing.I was wondering how much compression to use with todays fuel quality,and what heads to use .I have a set of 66"R" heads ,and can get a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads from a friend.I will be 390ci,and need some advice on which pistons will work best with each style of head.Also,can the "R" heads be made to flow in the same ballpark as the CJ heads?The ports are big enough,but the exhaust side will need some tlc to eliminate the transition to the headers.Is it a better and cheaper way to go to just buy the Edelbrock heads,than to spend monney on the "R" heads?thanks
This thread, so far...
