RE: Head Matching By Ed Foral - 03/20/2001 10:08:58 PM; IP 152.163.204.187 The early HiPo heads have very small combustion chambers and would probably not be the best choice for your application. You could sell them to someone who needs them for a restoration, and put the money towards a better set. The C4AE-G head is the base 352/390 head. It is not cast for the 16 bolt pattern, so you could not use CJ manifolds on them. Yes, you can drop the CJ valves in them, do a little bowl work, and have a set of CJ equivalent flowing heads. For the price, it is hard to go wrong with the Edelbrocks. I have seen them move a 390 Falcon into the low 12's with ease. By the time you put the machine work into converting a set of the C4AE heads, you are further ahead shelling out a few hundred more for the Edelbrocks. If every penny counts, then you can use the Iron heads, but you will not save much. Ed

This thread, so far...
