B-block cylinder heads?

Edelbrocks also have an angled spark plug so header clearance is a MAJOR issue in an A-body. Know of any headers that were made to fix this problem? What problems have you encountered from dealing with Hughes?

The MP vesion uses straight plugs... Hence the recommendation :)

The only real dealings I had with Hughes were for a cam and a set of "ultra light" solid lifters. I saw it on the "clearance" section on thier website, ordered the cam, and added a set of top dollar ultra light weight lifters from them. I called again fro some other info on a set of heads a friend bought. They had soem issues my shop advised me of, so I called and asked the rational behind the work that had been done. I was treated like a kid fresh out of highschool. Talked down to, and assumptions were made that what they were describing was so far advanced I could not possibly grasp the concept. Needles to say, I have that cam sitting on a shelf, and have for 8 years. It's a great grind IMO, and maybe someday I'll use it. But I figured maybe before I get the chance to install it, I might cross paths with the SOB on the phone, and I thought of a few choice locations in which to bury it on his person. My experience was just as the "real Chrysler cams" were introduced. Long before the internet chats and other stories of attitude issues came out. That same guy must still be talking to people. I will not run their products, nor endorse them. It's about all I can legally do to affect them.

ps- I've only seen one set of heads from them that performed "as billed". That is a set of small block heads that runs 11.70s on a 360. That was not the set I was questioning.

I agree with BJR and his airflow requirements. But CFM is not all about volume.
