Edelbrock aluminum heads 60179 or 60779?
If your 340 has he pop up positive deck pistons, you need the head that has the relief for it in the chamber. Or a very thick gasket to assure that the piston doesn’t hit the cylinder head.
I JUST! 2 days ago got my “179” Edelbrock heads. The work done was pretty good. Valves were not loose and the valve job was typical. The valves sat proud as they should and there was no “Lip” next to the valve to stop air flow at low lifts. I mic’s the spring heights and the all exhausts needed .015 shims. The intakes were good. All within .007 or less. 2 dead on 1.800.
These are going on a 360 for my sons truck.
