advice on heads

gtsdude said

I think you need to reread what was posted, they charge to open up the chamber, they do not come that way. And I would not call it porting, blending in the 202 intake valve
To the bowl, that needs to be done after cutting it to the 202 size. It also comes in LA or Mag version, run the LA and use you existing rockers. And if the OP is running the 268 cam, stock J heads will work just fine also as well as the EQ's. i would run a different cam with a new set of close chamber heads my self. But it's easy to spend other people's $

I did read about heads and putting a 2.02 on an engine with a 268 cam will cost OP torque . Not a good idea. Also, the EQ heads flow better for street without messing with them. OP made no mention of anything but mild street. The extra $ would be a waste without a cam in the 280+ duration. As far as what you mentioned about the EQ "LA heads, you are incorrect, the "LA" version of the EQ heads are exactly the same with the exception of intake bolt angle. ALL EQ heads use a bolt down pedestal or stud mounted rocker. Perhaps you were thinking of Edelbrock "LA" heads which come with shaft mounts cast into head.
