Lots of replies so i will try to answer them all in one post.
Would love W2s but those are not realy in the budget for this unless i stumble upon a real good deal on a whole topend and actualy manage to buy it before someone else gets there,i have missed a few of those deals over the years,guess im not quick enough.
Had a set of Edelbrocks,they where nice but sold them since i descided that im going in a different direction,may have been stupid,should realy have taken a look into those boxes with the old j-heads before doing that,i had totaly forgoten how beat up they realy where over the years..
Feel free to call med stupid you will not be the first or last:D
What im after with the iron heads is the look,i want things to look more oldsschool and sure those LAX heads does not look stock for those that know but they are not as obvious as the flatmachined ends of most aluminum heads.
Wouldnt mind buying things from IMM engines but whenever possible i try to buy from a local speedshop,i belive its important to keep them alive and they are quite good at alot of things.
I want to build the car to fullfill the dream i had back when i bought it many years ago and it was not a very spectacular dream at all,just want the thing to be right from that slightly dated perspective and prefereably be quick aswell,i realised the whole thing as i where flipping thru the pages of a old photoalbum and once again saw alot of things that influenced me alot back before i even owned a car.
Actualy owned a chevelle for a while that fitted that dream perfectly from alot of perspectives but it was not the right car.
In this era of aluminum headed strokers(that are obviously the smart thing to build) it would be very cool to get a 11second timeslip with a stockstroke ironheaded 340 that is driven to the track and home.
