Need Head Help?

This is why I ALWAYS magnaflux anything old before using it or, as you mentioned, have work done on it. I 100% agree with you that it's not fair if I were to tell you to port my heads without checking them and make you eat the cost because me the customer was too stupid to realize that things crack and break. If I were you I'd put it in a contract that if a customer has you work on a head that hasn't been checked and turns out cracked the customer pays at least 50% of the bill. I may look into Hughes' heads once I find a job again. What do you feel would perform best ?? X heads or magnums? I like the small combustion chamber, flow, and 1.6 rockers of the magnum but I know the X heads have a lot of potential, I just refuse to pay the money they want for 1.6 rockers for LA style heads. Any advice from anyone is appreciated.

hows it going? my advice is to leave the x heads for the 340 resto crowd they pay the money for them anyway find some 915 sb j heads they out flow um anyway. thats what chrysler switched to in 71 340 anyway. if you get the 360 j heads (915) there exactly the same . except you will have to to have them opened up to 2.02/1.60 same high flowin deal just cheaper. i have seen raw mopar 915 castings the only diff is that chryslers machine shop did the work instead of yours. same part number. except 915 t/a head that ones a little different.as far a magnums too go new is king, and r/t is good ,iron ram heads are best. remember they make 1.6 rockers for the old style too check out kmj performance (cheap) later!!!!
