Head choices? So many these days

rumblefish360 said

With a decent amount of head choices for the Big block MoPar these days, what head would you choose for a 400 or a 500 inch A body street terror car/ light/med race car? (Ya know, nothing to dang crazy.)

Granted, there is a big difference between 400 and 500 inch's, but, it's all for fun, right?

I can see a Edelbrock RPM head for a real nice street ripping 400 right quick.

Copy and paste the below with your thoughts in your reply.

400 C.I.D. choice;

500 C.I.D. choice;

It's all HP specific, cost per HP, and intended application. You can make a great running BB with:rpm's, Victors, EZ's, SR's, -1's, BS's, B1's, and so on.
I think the Victors having a raised runner puts them ahead of the EZ's personally, but they will require a bit more work to get to their potential vs. the EZ.
If I were building a driver for myself, and wanted to build a 500 BB to cruise, hot rod around and take to the track a few times a year, I'd port a set of Victor MW's with a hyd. roller cam, 1.7 rockers and let it eat.
Cheapest power for the $$$ IMO!

The EZ's are great too, both the 295 and 325 heads. Or some mild porting on OOTB EZ's will make good power.
Some guys want a certain HP # and you have to understand that to get there my require the engine to be more racy than a driver...it's all about personal preferance at that point.
