Eddy heads on 416 stroker question

Edelbrock don't know jack about your combo. Your better off getting info here than asking them. Their information already had you going down the wrong path. The guys here straightened that out pretty darn quick for you.

I too will take the 40-50hp for less dollars. I have a fresh set of the 60779 heads ported that flow 300cfm on my parts shelf for 2 years now and I still have not used them. Eventually I will on something.

I really never got any info from Edelbrock. I ordered the open chamber version head on my own. My machinist wanted to just install a set of factory 2.02 heads and freshen them up. His idea was to do it on a smaller budget and still give me a nice street car. However, seeing that I had this vision of an engine with the Black Edelbrock Performer Air Gap RPM Nascar Edition intake and a brand new all aluminum Holley 750 with the polished aluminum and the black billet metering blocks and mounting flange I then decided to go with a set of aluminum heads and I just wanted to stay with the Edelbrock heads to match the intake. I have the tig welded Mopar black valve covers and all stainless steel 12 Pt ARP bolts and I plan on leaving the water pump cast aluminum with high temp clearcoat and an aluminum radiator. So while I do want to make some power, I figured if my machinist was going to do a nice stroker cruising car with just stock 2.02 iron heads, what can a lose going to the Edelbrock Performer RPM heads. I understand they will run cooler, allow me to bump the compression ratio a bit and still run on regular gas and would cruise the highways in the 60-70MPH range with absolutely no issues and have plenty of get up and go for a street car. So for me it is about looks also. I just messed up on the two choices they offer for a 340 motor. I actually thought I ordered closed chambered heads, so you are right that I got straightened out here by fellow enthusiasts, and I really appreciate that. That is why I became a Gold Member.
