Anyone install Edlebrock aluminum heads ?

If you do a compression test you could get and idea about what direction to go. If you have dished pistons or pistons down in the bore you will see a low cranking pressure. If you only have 120 pounds of compression you will want to get that up. But if you have 165 or more you won't want to go much higher with iron heads. If you are changing to aluminum heads you need your cylinder pressure up to make power due to the heat transfer. Heat=Pressure=power.

That was my same thinking all along. If I have lower compression as you stated. Which would not be surprising to me. I believed lower combustion chamber aluminum heads would work for me as long as the valves had no threat of hitting the pistons. Which, if I didn’t change the cam to a higher lift and a piston with a taller crown it would be ok. But, maybe I’m wrong. I’ll take the advice from those who know more about what I was logically thinking.
I intended to do a compression test very soon. But, I’m waiting to get a fuel gauge sorted before I can put tank back on in order to warm engine for a proper test.
