    Yup..gears and converter will fix the lo end but now you're heading to more of a race build and the all around driver is sacrificed to...

    J heads will flow 400 hp and really 325-350 is plenty for a nice all around driver. To push 400 hp you'll need a bigger cam and aluminum...

    Wow..lots of good info guys. It seems a rebuilt set of J heads would be a better choice for most builds.

    Now...here's one. Has any manufacturer ever built a square engine i.e. same size bore and stroke? There is a reason the engineers pick...
