Head choices? So many these days

Just throwing it out there. A general question to ask. Idle chatter/bench racing. Not building anytime soon.




The engine is a late 1978 with 452. If anything, I'd work them on on the cheap, though, the small chamber is a better start. Just an added cost. One I'd rather roll over into the 452.

Great idea guys, keep'em coming.

I'd be carefull about doing that unless your not worried about making alot of power. It's real easy to get 1000.00 into old iron and unless you can do port work yourself, your going to be way into them vs. good aluminum heads.
I hate to say it...but if you have a grand laying around for heads, the Stealth's are probably your best bet. Just beware after a valve job/surface cut and retainer/keeper upgrades it's more like 1400.00.
This is why I like the eddy heads...yes they can use a valve job, but surface is usually good, hardware is not bad, and they work well with alot of different engine combo's out there.
